Same Allergies, Different Symptoms

There were two patients who saw me on the same day with latex or rubber allergy who presented with different manifestation on their legs and feet.

One with his lower limbs with red, angry looking, wet lesions with skin infections.

The other with dry, thickened and scaly lesions.

The lesson:
Our bodily reactions manifest differently from persons to persons when exposed to the same allergic substance. I have observed this time and time again.

My learning continues.
