Erythropoietic protoporphyria is a genetic condition where protoporphyrins accumulate in red blood cells. This accumulation causes severe sensitivity to sunlight, resulting in acute pain, though without blistering. Additionally, there's a risk of liver disease associated with this condition. Symptoms typically begin in childhood, marked by immediate pain and crying upon exposure to bright sunlight. EPP tends to worsen during spring and summer months.
