Hello Albert,

Some copied information for Leprocy.

Effected =the peripheral nerves, skin and mucous membranes

decreased sensation/numbness or tingling/ to touch, heat, or pain or or absent sensation in the hands and arms, or feet and legs

muscle weakness resulting in signs such as foot drop (the toe drags when the foot is lifted to take a step)

Tuberculoid Leprosy - one or a few hypopigmented, hypoesthetic macules with well defined borders. The muscles in the body become weak and fatigued

Lepromatou Leprosy - symmetric skin nodules, loss of hair, loss of skin appendages. (severe) little or no pain accompanies the rash. The rash will resemble a large tinea eruption.

Borderline Leprosy -symptoms between TB Leprosy and Lepromatous Leprosy. Symptoms may be worse or better. Eruptions will have a border with normal skin locked in the middle

We know we need to individulize to treat;but??
