How likely will i get body disfiguration from cutaneous leishmaniasis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on site: Cutaneous disease usually heals with a local scar. The disfigurement depends on the location of the lesion. A lesion on the cheek will be more disfiguring than one on the calf.
