Abstract

This case emphasizes how the procedures of traditional Chinese medicine may cause dermatological patterns which may lead to a misdiagnosis especially in physicians not familiar with complementary and alternative medicine. Furthermore the only use of clinical images transmitted by mobile phone platforms such as WhatsApp® may interfere with a correct diagnosis when they are not supported by a complete medical history and physical assessment.
