5. Vasculopathy. Ranges from petechiae to purpura with ulcer-
ation and atrophy. Etiologies include idiopathic thrombocy-
topenic purpura, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura,
hypercoagulable states, renal failure, hereditary platelet dis-
orders, scurvy, DIC, and lymphoproliferative states
(Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, leukemias, myeloma) [5].
6. Annular erythema. Erythema chronicum migrans (ECM).
Associated with Lyme disease. An erythematous ring
around a central punctate erythematous papule (indicates
tick site) spreading outwardly with annular appearance.

Vesiculobullous

Blistering rashes with either intraepidermal or subepidermal
bullae and a background of inflammatory or noninflamma-
tory skin. Various conditions already mentioned can also
blister, including meningococcemia, contact dermatitis, vascu-
litis, erythema multiforme, and SJS/TEN [6].
Infectious
Herpes simplex virus. Grouped vesicles on an erythematous
base. Vesicles crust over as they heal.
Herpes zoster. Grouped painful/burning herpetic vesicles on
an erythematous base in a dermatomal distribution. Pain
often precedes rash (Fig. 19.7).
Coxsackie. Vesicles on the tongue or buccal mucosa, hands,
and feet, including the palms and soles. Uncommonly, the
buttocks and genitalia are involved. Vesicles are tender and
may ulcerate, but are usually not pruritic.
Autoimmune, Intraepidermal
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV). Flaccid blisters with crust and ero-
sions present. Oral involvement is common. Positive
Nikolsky sign.
A. Miceli and K. Krishnamurthy
321
Autoimmune, Subepidermal
Bullous pemphigoid. Common condition seen in the elderly.
Tense bullae that do not rupture easily. Common locations
include trunk and flexural areas (Fig. 19.8).
Noninflammatory
Porphyria cutanea tarda. Acral blisters that worsen with sun
exposure, alcohol use, and estrogen [7].
Miliaria crystallina. Numerous small superficial vesicles in
intertriginous areas or head/neck in infants caused by obstruc-
tion of the sweat glands. Can also be seen in febrile adults.

History and Physical Examination
History:
• Duration of rash: acute vs. chronic
• Description: location of rash, color, texture, symptoms
(itchy, painful, changes in color or texture, drainage, fever)
• Medical history: recent changes in health problems, recent
illnesses or hospitalizations, new medications
• Social history: recent travel, contact with plants or bodies
of water, sick contacts, pets, arthropod bites, occupation
(chemical exposures), sexual history
• Environmental changes: new products including but not
limited to perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, deter-
gents, hair dye, nail polish, clothing components (nickel in
buttons, leather shoes, etc.)
Physical examination
• Vital signs: presence of fever, signs of hemodynamic
instability.
• Gross inspection [8]:
– Shape: Annular, round, ovoid, linear, serpiginous, targe-
toid, polycyclic (overlapping annular), arcuate (incom-
plete annular), polymorphous (many shapes)

ties. Previously published in Buka B, Uliasz A, Krishnamurthy

– Color: erythematous, hyperpigmented/hypopigmented,
flesh-colored, red-brown, violaceous, purpuric, dusky
(dark purple/gray that suggests necrosis)
– Primary skin lesions: macules, patches, papules, plaques,
nodules, vesicles, bullae, pustules, hives or urticaria,
petechiae, purpura, furuncle, carbuncle
– Secondary skin changes: excoriations, scale, crust, ero-
sions, ulcerations, fissures, lichenification
– Distribution: generalized, central, peripheral, palms/
soles involved, flexural vs. extensor surfaces, unilateral
vs. symmetric, sun-exposed areas, intertriginous, muco-
sal involvement
– Configuration: linear/geometric (suggests outside influ-
ence), dermatomal, grouped
– Texture: soft, firm, fleshy, indurated
– Patterns: follicular, morbilliform (“measles like” a.k.a.
maculopapular), reticular (“net like”), monomorphic,
guttate (drop like)
• Diagnostic procedures:
– KOH prep: Identifies dermatophyte infection.
– Positive test: presence of hyphae (long, slender, refrac-
tile filaments that cross multiple cell walls). Tinea versi-
color is diagnosed by presence of “spaghetti and
meatballs” appearance, which represents hyphae and
spores [3].
– Scabies prep: Identifies scabies.
– Positive test: Observe mite, eggs, or feces (scybala).
Mineral oil used.
– Wood’s lamp (365 nm) [3]:
– Findings in different skin conditions:
Vitiligo: milky white appearance.
Tinea versicolor: yellow or orange glow.
Tinea capitis: Microsporum species fluoresce blue-
green, Trichophyton schoenleinii fluoresces dull
blue.
Erythrasma: coral-pink color due to Corynebacterium.
Pseudomonas: fluoresces green.
Porphyria: red-pink fluorescence of skin.

– Nikolsky sign: Positive if lateral pressure on blister
causes easy rupture of blister. This indicates an intraepi-
dermal process.
– Diascopy: Pressing on a lesion with a glass slide to see
whether or not redness blanches out. Purpura is
non-blanching.
– Skin biopsy: Rashes not responding to conventional
treatment require a biopsy. For autoimmune conditions,
two punch biopsy samples should be taken, one for
H&E and one for direct immunofluorescence (DIF).
• Treatment: Please see diagnostic and treatment Figs. 19.9,
19.10, 19.11, 19.12, 19.13, and 19.14.
Clinical Pearls
• A broad differential diagnosis based on a rash’s reaction
pattern is helpful in diagnosing the rash.
• Consider common rashes first and rule out life-threatening
rashes quickly.
• Perform a KOH on most scaly rashes.
• Punch biopsies (3–5 mm) should be used for nonrespond-
ing or undiagnosed rashes, and a DIF should be performed
for vesiculobullous eruptions.
