Erythema Multiforme
Erythema multiforme is a skin reaction that produces characteristic lesions, often shaped like a target or bull's-eye, with rings of different colors.
Common symptoms:
- Reddish target-shaped lesions, especially on the hands, arms, and legs
- Mild itching or burning
- In some cases, involvement of the mucous membranes
Common causes: It is usually triggered by infections or as the body's response to certain factors, including some medications.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates these skin lesions, and the allergist gets involved when a trigger of that kind is suspected; the general practitioner provides guidance during the initial assessment. If target-shaped lesions appear, especially if they affect the mouth or eyes, it is best to seek professional care promptly.
