hello doctors,

I am trying to find a doctor who can understand my rare condition and who can guide me properly. I know there's no permanent treatment for CEP but I want to improve my condition and for that I need a good doctor.

congenital erythropoietic porphyria is a disease that doesn't have complete cure so any senior well experienced specialist physician can control your condition

I have been to many doctors in the past 20 years and they all said that they can't do anything because my condition is rare.
