  • Snapshot
    • A 20-year-old student presents to the school’s health clinic complaining of a scaly rash on his trunk. He recalls having a mild fever and headaches a few weeks prior, but did not think much of it. The lesions do not itch. He loves to play tennis and spends a lot of time outdoors and wear proper attire during activities. On exam, the lesions are primarily on his central trunk. His sun-exposed arms have no lesions on them.
