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.
