Limitless has teamed up with Epermarket to bring you Allergy Awareness Week, and in this show I speak with two medical doctors practicing in the south of China, Dr. Eric Zhao and Dr. Mingan Pan. Dr. Zhao is a dermatologist, specializing in skin related allergies, such as atopic dermatitis (infantile eczema), urticaria, and cosmetic dermatology. Dr. Pan is a specialist in the related allergies of the respiratory system, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Both skin and respiratory allergies can affect our lives as expats in China and I had a great time with both doctors discussing what support is available in China.

Both Dr. Zhao & Dr. Pan are with the Distinct Heathcare which is an expat friendly chain of clinics in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. And they offer a wide range of medical services like Pediatrics, Gynecology, Family medicine, Dermatology, Dental and Ophthalmology. They work really hard to provide patient-oriented and quality-assured medical services. And if you’re living in Guangzhou or Shenzhen definitely check them out and write a comment below about your experience with their services!
