| Description: |
This is a rare genetic condition which means the sufferer has extreme sensitivity to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. They are not able to repair the damage that is done to their skin through what most of us would call normal exposure; the damage to them can lead to cancers and eye lesions. Symptoms can include blistering on minimal sun exposure, premature ageing.
