This previously healthy 11yo boy presented with a faintly itchy circular rash with scale on his neck five days ago. Over the last two days these additional oval annular lesions have appeared all over his trunk. He has no fever or constitutional symptoms. He says that the rash is faintly itchy and sometimes it burns a little bit, but that it is not very severe. Do you recognize this?
