A 25-year-old Man with Acute Maculo-Papular Rash and Target Lesions

35166

A 25-year-old student had an erythematous eruption on his face, trunk and upper extremity. Initial maculo-papules evolved to target lesions with a vesicular center surrounded by alternating pale and dark rings. The eruption appeared at the dorsum of the hand and progressed proximally, four days after a flu-like episode, without use of drugs or medicines for a minimum of six-months. The changes were restricted to the skin, painless and mildly itching. More conspicuous lesions appeared on his right scapula, left shoulder, and the dorsum of the left hand (Figure 1). Previously, he was in good health, without a history of allergy or skin or mucosal disturbances.
