Haemorrhagic polymorphic light eruption: two cases of a rare variant.
Polymorphic light eruption is a common photosensitivity disorder of unknown aetiology, that usually presents in the spring or summer months as an intermittent non-scarring, itchy erythematous, papulo-vesicular eruption. We present two cases of haemorrhagic polymorphic light eruption, a rare variant of this condition of which there are no case reports in the literature.
