Swelling?
Subject: Swelling?

Hi all,
I am now in a panic on this one. I have spent an hour looking for this word. The patient has the diagnosis of photosensitive allergic dermatitis and only has a rash on the face. Toward the end of the report the doctor dictates the following: We did discuss _______ but this is not clinically that diagnosis. The blank sounds like ericiproteous OR a resiprotus. Thanks for your help and time.
