Increased skin fragility

Increased skin fragility often appears in skin porphyria. If you can avoid the light immediately after the onset, swelling can be eliminated within 2 to 5 days, and the skin is brittle. After irritation such as scratching, it will show linear epidermal peeling and crusting, and a large worm-like pitting scar from the needle to sesame.
