feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' Animals become allergic to the antigens in the flea saliva not the flea eggs. Most eggs are laid on the host but quickly fall off into the environment. The antigens trigger a hypersensitivity reaction when the flea bites. FAD leads to papular dermatitis, secondary excoriations and alopecic nodules (uncommon) if chronic.

feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' Acral lick dermatitis, also called lick granuloma is caused by physical not chemical damage. It mostly occurs in dogs due to constant licking or chewing. Areas most affected are carpal, metacarpal, metatarsal, radial or tibial areas, usually just a single lesion. The correct answer is contact dermatitis, which results from exposure to chemicals, not an immunologic reaction. It grossly appears as erythematous patches and papules and occasionally vesicles distributed on any areas in contact with the irritant. This is often the ventral abdomen, chest, paws and chin, but this varies from dog to dog and depends on what the initiating agent is.

feedback1="'''Incorrect.''' Systemic lupus is a type III reaction, complement fixing of immune complexes IgG or IgM. Complexes deposit in tissue, fix complement, cytokines and other factors attack neutrophils which release lysosomal enzymes, and activate complement and coagulation. Platelet aggregation leads to tissue damage.The correct answer is Pemphigus, a rare group of immune mediated, sterile pustular diseases, in which autoantibodies bind to desmosomal proteins leading to formation of vesicles. There are several types. [[Skin Immunologic - Pathology#General|WikiVet Article: immunological ]]"
