With treatment: Since most forms of porphyria are inherited there is not a cure for them. Depending on the type, treatment can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. Acquired porphyria can improve with removal of the triggering causes.

Porphyrias: These conditions are life long conditions with symptoms that come and go. I would not think that it would improve with age, but as you know there are triggers that make the disease flare. Avoid those triggers.
