In a bizarre medical mystery that ’s like watching the life of Benjamin Button in reverse , a Vietnamese woman has seem to age almost five decades in just three year after suffering an allergic reaction .
The photograph on the left show how 26 twelvemonth erstwhile Nguyen Thi Phuong looked just a few years ago , before she experienced an extreme allergic reaction after deplete seafood . Initially her face conk out out in an itchy rash that had her scratching her skin all day and Nox . But when the medication her married man had purchase her did nothing to relieve the symptoms , she sought the advice of a local doctor who spell her a prescription medicine for what he assumed to be dermatitis .
And this is where things blend in from unsound to uncollectible . The dermatitis medication caused her look to swell , followed by beehive appearing on her skin . After a week she stopped taking those MEd and instead turn over to more traditional intervention which did help concentrate the hump , but then caused her to gain weight . She finally had to give up all of the treatments when she could no longer open them , and in just three short years the cutis from her stomach upward aged dramatically , clear her look like a woman some fifty year her senior .
Otherwise , Phuong is as tidy as any other womanhood in her late twenties . Her memory and internal reed organ are in smashing condition , and even her strength reflects her untested year . Several Doctor of the Church have excogitate as to the suit of her unique status , from medicinal poisoning to the overuse of Corticoid , a steroid endocrine used to reduce swelling . Or that it ’s even a genic upset . But the head of dermatology at the Ho Chi Minh City University Medical Center believes Phuong suffers from dermal mastocytosis . A term which can really be treated with medicine and optical maser treatment to cut down the visual aspect of her wrinkles . But unfortunately the adverse effect of her condition can never be permanently reversed . We ca n’t also eliminate the theory that this is just an detailed humbug , but besides fifteen instant of fame , I do n’t see the angle . [ AsiaOne HealthviaThe Daily What ]
