Symptoms Of Spina Bifida

A Lack Of Skin Sensation

If an individual is dealing with paralysis or a lack of sensation in the legs due to the condition, quite obviously they will lack skin sensation in this area of their body. As a result, skin in the affected areas, specifically the lower body, can become easily damaged as they might injure or burn themselves without realizing it. Children with spina bifida also have a higher risk of developing a latex allergy, which may cause itchy skin and a rash to develop, as well as sneezing, watery eyes, and a runny nose due to the allergy, which can range from mild to severe.
