español term

le aparecen unas ronchas en el codo

español al inglés Ciencias Medicina (general) Historia clínica
"Ronchas" aparece en los glosarios como "swelling" or "wheal", pero no acabo de ver como traducir el término propuesto. El contexto es el siguiente:

"Le aparecen unas ronchas en el codo y brazo que mueve, y en las palmas de las manos y las plantas de los pies. Rojas, parecidas a las que salen como reacción alérgica a algo."

Following Joseph's suggestion, I think a better rendering of the Spanish would be "He/She gets a rash on his/her elbow....".

"to develop" is probably the kind of words doctors would use, but it seems to me it's a patient's relative who's describing his/her symptoms, so a low register might be more appropriate here.
