Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is testing whether a small implant injected under the skin can reduce the number and severity of flare-ups of polymorphous light eruption (PMLE). PMLE is a condition where the skin becomes very sensitive to sunlight, causing a rash on areas exposed to the sun. The implant slowly releases a substance that may help increase the skin's tolerance to sunlight. Researchers want to find out if this treatment is safe and effective.
You may be eligible if:
- You have a history of polymorphous light eruption (PMLE), a sun-sensitive skin condition that causes a rash
You may NOT be eligible if:
- You have a history of skin cancer
