Treatment

There has not been much treatment for XP in the past years.

Current Treatments

The most practical treatment is too keep the person out of the sun. This includes, sunscreen, screens to protect skin, and special suits designed to keep UV lights away. With these treatments and proper upkeep the indicidual will be as safe as possible.

Possible Cures

Though not currently being used, it is possible that when technology and medicine develops further, gene therapy could be used. By using an in vitro method and sending a virus with the proper DNA into the body it could be possible to replace the mutated DNA that results in XP
