What you may notice
Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary between people.
- Severe sun sensitivity
- Early freckling
- Skin changes or cancers
- Eye irritation or damage
Understanding care
Clinical care may include specialist UV-protection planning and regular skin, eye and neurological review. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Arrange prompt review of new or changing skin lesions. Eye pain or sudden vision change needs urgent assessment; UV-protection planning belongs with the treating specialist team.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
