Consider These Signs for Mast Cell Syndrome 👊👍
In this podcast episode, Dr. Theoharis Theoharides discusses two physical signs that may suggest an active mast cell response, which can be indicators of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). He highlights the presence of dark circles under the eyes, known as the 'moonshiner' effect, and dermatographia, where the skin turns red when scratched or pressed lightly. These symptoms often signal that mast cells are active and can guide further diagnostic measurement. Understanding these signs can significantly aid in accurately diagnosing and managing MCAS.
