Definition
What does PLE mean?
- Polymorphous light eruption
- Polymorphous light eruption (PLE), sometimes also called polymorphic light eruption (PMLE), is a non-life-threatening and potentially distressing skin condition that is triggered by sunlight and artificial UV exposure in a genetically susceptible person, particularly in temperate climates during the spring and early summer. Due to its many clinical appearances, it is named polymorphic or polymorphous and the terms are used interchangeably. The resulting itch can cause significant suffering.PLE is also defined as an idiopathic primary photodermatosis, in which the photosensitizer is unknown.Treatments include prevention with sun avoidance and supervised light therapy, and symptom control with topical steroids.
