Q: i fell yesterday and i'm covered in abrasions on my knees arms and hands. i have porphyria. should i visit a doctor or hospital ?

: If you have porphyria, you could possess complications such as neuropathy, which might alter your responses to injury, or secondary infection. Widespread involvement as noted, is best addressed by physicians, and agree with a visit to your doctor or hospital.
