Hi, How XP is diagnosed is by a Doctor asking about your symptoms and getting a history of these. If XP is suspected then it can be diagnosed with a genetic blood test and a skin biopsy. You can find out more information on gstt.nhs.uk/xp this link will also give you telephone numbers if you want to discuss this further with the nurses.
