X-linked dominant<unk>  protoporphyria is a relatively mild version of porphyria with the predominant symptom being extreme photosensitivity causing severe itching and burning sensation of the skin due to the buildup of protoporphyrin IX. One possible treatment was discovered when treating an individual with supplemental iron for a gastric ulcer. Levels of free protoporphyrin decreased significantly as there was iron available for the FECH to produce heme. Levels of zinc-protoporphyrin, however did not decrease.
