Dr. Tabatha Barber explains that a rash that won't go away isn't your body failing you. It's mast cell activation, a protective response sending signals you've been misreading. When the rash finally starts to fade, your body's defenses are actually working.
You touched on something earlier that I really wanna highlight. When we're struggling with something like mast cell activation, you know, someone thinks, I have a rash that won't go away and none of the medicines are working. They feel like their body is failing them when in reality our body is working super hard to try and keep us safe and healthy and we're just not hearing or understanding the message that it's sending, right? So I would love for you to talk a little bit more about that Because I get women coming to me and they're just working against their body. They're just so angry at it and frustrated with it. And I'm like, no, this is all really good news. We can use this information. And when the rash starts to go away, that's a good sign that we're making progress, right?
