Lucas Viana shares the evolution of red spots and receives an allergy diagnosis
On Wednesday morning (6), digital influencer Lucas Viana shared with his more than eight million Instagram followers the evolution of the mysterious red spots that appeared on his body. Since last Monday (4), Lucas had been worrying his fans with the marks, but he reassured everyone by showing improvements.
In a video posted on social media, the 32-year-old showed off his still reddened legs and thanked the health professionals who are taking care of him for their support, as well as everyone who is sending him good energy and prayers. The preliminary diagnosis indicated that Lucas is allergic to an anti-inflammatory drug that he recently used for muscle pain, and that emotional stress may have triggered the allergic reaction.
The infectious disease specialist in charge of the case, Dr. Larissa Tiberto, explained that drug urticaria triggered by emotional stress has no cure, and that Lucas will need to avoid this type of medication to prevent new crises in the future. The current treatment consists of using antiallergic drugs to control the reactions.
Lucas Viana's fans are closely following the progress of the case and sending messages of support to the influencer. The hope is that he makes a full recovery and can return to his normal activities soon.
