Persistent 'Elephant Skin' Rash: Woman's 10-Month Battle with Dental Veneer Allergy
A UK woman developed a severe skin rash resembling "elephant skin" for 10 months after getting dental composite veneers. Lily Lindsay experienced red, itchy eyes, dry lips, and dry skin two weeks after the procedure. Initially dismissed as dermatitis, she was later diagnosed with eczema. Despite trying various treatments, her condition worsened, leading to depression. Lindsay eventually decided to remove the veneers, and after about ten months, her symptoms cleared up. Lindsay hopes her experience raises awareness about the potential risks of dental procedures and the possibility of allergic reactions.
