Introduction to PMLE
Polymorphic Light Eruption (PMLE) is a common

primarily affects fair-skinned individuals and
appears as red, itchy rashes on sun-exposed
areas. The symptoms typically develop within
hours of sun exposure and may last for several
days.

susceptibility.

PMLE is more common in spring and early summer
when the skin is re-exposed to sunlight after
