Ref.: (LML) Facial Erythematous Patches
From: Thomas H. Rea, Los angelos, California, USA
Dear Dr. Scheuder,
Concerning Dr. Rao's patients: both photos show an erythema with a distinct purplish cast which we see not uncommonly in our Mexican-born patients who are having a reversal reaction. The sharp margin in the gentleman patient is also consistent with a reversal reaction. The lady appears to have edema of her lower lip, which might be attributed to a reversal reaction. Biopsy is needed for definitive classification.
Regards,
Thomas H. Rea, M.D.
