Understanding Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) and Light Sensitivity
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a rare inherited condition where the body's DNA repair mechanisms cannot fix damage caused by ultraviolet light. This means that even minimal sun exposure can cause severe sunburn, freckling, and a dramatically increased risk of skin cancer. XP patients must avoid all UV exposure, making comprehensive protection in vehicles absolutely essential.
