EPP

The EPP
The EPP is an NHS initiative that was launched in 2002 to help patients with chronic conditions to take control of their lives.

EPP typically manifests in infancy with burning skin pain after even short exposure to sunlight. Gallstones are common later in life, and acute liver failure occurs in about 10%.

Redness or swelling, but usually no blisters

Beta-carotene is highly effective in the treatment of EPP.
