my mother is smothered in tiny, itchy red dots which started on new years day. she has scleroderma ( previously diagnosed). She thinks she has had an allergic reaction to some seafood she ate new years eve. Her GP isnt sure what is going on and has given her prednisolone and phenergan. My question is: With her exisitng scleroderma, could her immune reaction to a food allergen be exagerated? It seems to me that this should be passing ( its 11 days now) but infact she just keeps getting more and more of these ichy red hive like marks. its as if her immune response has been switched on and wont turn off. nothing is settling this down. Could the scleroderma be exacerbating the effect of the food allergy?

Does Scleroderma The Effect Of The Food Allergy?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic The scleroderma can affect her immune response. It is possible that it can affect her response to allergens. If the rash is not decreasing then she may need to see her doctor for an assessment so see if the treatment needs to be altered. I hope this helps
