birth without change. This describes a benign blue nevus, common in patients of Asian
descent.

scabies
 Cold compresses and hydrocortisone cream 1% twice a day. - This would
decrease inflammation but would not cure the scabies.
 Over-the-counter Benadryl cream. This would provide itching relief but would not cure
the scabies.

A 3-year-old patient presents to your pediatric office with her mother. She has recently been started in
day care. Her mother noted slight perioral erythema on the right side of the patient’s mouth prior to
bed last night. The patient awoke today with 3 small, superficial, honey-colored vesicles where the
erythema was last night. The patient has no surrounding erythema. She had no difficulty eating this
morning and is active and energetic and doesn’t appear lethargic or fatigued. She is also afebrile. How

help but would not prevent bacterial spread.

help as well but wouldn’t prevent bacterial spread.

A 27-year-old female comes in to your primary care office complaining of a perioral rash. The patient
noticed burning around her lips a couple days ago that quickly went away. She awoke from sleep
yesterday and noticed a group of vesicles with erythematous bases where the burning had been before.
There is no burning today. She is afebrile and has no difficulty eating or swallowing. What test would
confirm her diagnosis?

 Tzanck smear. This would show giant cells consistent with herpes simplex virus.
 Potassium hydroxide (KOH) prep. This is used to diagnose fungal infections.
 Exam under a Wood lamp. This is used to diagnose fungal infections.
 Sterile culture sent for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This would help with bacterial causes of
these lesions; a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) would have to be sent to diagnose herpes
simplex.

A 16-year-old male presents to your office. He was sent by an orthopedist. He has recently had surgical
fixation of a humerus fracture. The patient has been going to physical therapy and has been developing
a rash on his arm after therapy that disappears shortly after returning home. He does not have the rash
prior to therapy. The patient denies fevers and chills, and his incision is well healed, with no signs of
infection. Of note, the patient has been experiencing more hand edema than the average patient and
has had edema wraps used at the end of therapy to help with his swelling. The wraps are made of a
synthetic plastic material. The rash the patient gets is erythematous and blotchy, not raised; it is on the
operative upper extremity. What is the most likely diagnosis?

 Contact dermatitis The patient’s history and rash are consistent with a latex or plastic sensitivity
due to the edema wraps used in therapy.
 Atopic dermatitis The patient’s rash is not consistent with eczema, which is dry and
erythematous and usually found in the skin folds and around the eyes.
 Seborrheic dermatitis The patient’s rash is not consistent with seborrheic dermatitis, as no
greasy yellow scales are present.
