Hi, not done officially on me, they watched Blood test responses, not formally noticed but my skin will flare but not consistently if I scratch a spot for example. No genetic marker, generally I’ve read that for instance the Europeans don’t generally respond as well for the pathergy test as say those of other countries nearer the silk route. Best wishes

Hi there!

I have I was rather a star in 1999 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, it was seen by one of the consultants for the first time there and Proff Bacon confirmed it. It’s quite a talking point now at routine bloods and other hospitals and clinics!

Nope. Mine came back negetive as the swelling was just outside the circle.
