Polymorphic light eruption (PMLE) also known as polymorphous light eruption or prurigo aestivalis is the most common form of immunologically mediated photosensitivity dermatoses which is characterised by an abnormal, recurrent and delayed reaction to sunlight. The cause is unknown and people who experience polymorphic light eruption are those who reside at high altitude than at sea level. The unique feature of PMLE in Indian skin is the pigmentary change which varies from hypopigmented to hyperpigmented lesions. Here, is a case report of PMLE which is treated successfully with Sulphur, an individualised homoeopathic medicine and marked improvement was seen in the follow up.
