Mastocytosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mastocytosis is a rare disorder in which an excess of mast cells, cells of the immune system, accumulate in the skin or in other organs. It may be limited to the skin or take a more generalized form.
Common symptoms: spots or welts on the skin that itch, redness, and in some cases episodes of itching, digestive discomfort, or intense reactions to certain triggers.
When to seek care? Persistent skin lesions that react when rubbed or unexplained reactions justify an evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist and the hematologist take part in its study, and in childhood the pediatrician usually provides follow-up. If you observe these signs, having them evaluated by one of these professionals helps pin down the diagnosis of mastocytosis.
