Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a condition in which early, accurate diagnosis and prompt clinical intervention play a decisive role in long-term prognosis. Management centres on preventing cumulative UV-related skin damage before it progresses.
The foundational treatment strategy involves strict photoprotection measures. Professional staff-delivered education on sun protection forms a core component of first-line management.
