Xeroderma Pigmentosum
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Xeroderma pigmentosum is an uncommon hereditary disease in which the skin has extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet light, due to the body's difficulty repairing the damage that the sun causes to cells.
Common symptoms: It is usually noticed from childhood, with intense burns after brief sun exposure, dryness, spots in exposed areas, and greater skin fragility. It can also affect the eyes.
How is it approached? Because of its nature, it involves strict measures to protect against solar radiation and periodic skin examinations.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the central professional for follow-up, and the general practitioner can help coordinate care. If this condition is suspected, an early professional evaluation helps establish appropriate care.
