Phuong said she took some medicine bought at a local pharmacy instead of going to the hospital because her and her husband Tuyen, now 33, were too poor to afford it。

　　阮莳芳说她当时没有去医院，而是去当地的药店买了些药，因为她和她33岁的丈夫张庭选实在太穷，负担不起医疗费用。

　　She said: "After one month of taking the drugs, I became less itchy but hives remained on my skin.""Then I switched to traditional medicine and all the hives disappeared, together with my itching. However, my skin began to sag and fold."

　　她说：“我服药大约一个月后，身上不太痒了，但还是有很多荨麻疹。”“然后我开始服用一些传统药物，荨麻疹和瘙痒都消失了，但我的皮肤却开始松弛下垂。”

　　Mrs Nguyen then took another kind of traditional medicine to treat her rapid-aging skin problem - but to no avail。

　　随后她又开始服用另一种传统药物，试图治疗她迅速老化的皮肤——但却毫无作用。

　　Doctors say it may have been the long-term use of traditional medicines that caused the condition as they are often spiked with corticoids. These steroids speed up the effects of the unregulated remedies but could also have triggered the rare skin disease mastocytosis, where the body produces too many mast cells。

　　医生说她的这种状况可能是由于长期服用传统药物所致，因为这些药物中通常都含有肾上腺皮质类脂醇。这些类脂醇可以大大提高药效，但也可能引发罕见的皮肤病——肥大细胞增多症，使身体产生过多的肥大细胞。

　　On October 2, doctors from Nguyen Dinh Chieu Hospital in Ben Tre Province said they would examine Phuong for free and send her to the HCMC Dermatology Hospital if they failed to diagnose her condition。

　　槟椥省阮庭沼医院的医生表示，他们已经在10月2日给阮莳芳做了免费体检，如果无法治愈，他们将会把她送去胡志明市皮肤专科医院。
