29/F came in for consult due to pruritic rashes. Symptoms started 4 days prior as a flat, pruritic erythematous rash on her abdomen.

There was a history of an undocumented one-day fever days prior the appearance of the first rash. There were no joint pains, no intake of any medications or drugs. Relatives of close contact do not exhibit the rashes. She has no known allergies. On examination, rashes are maculopapular to patchy with occasional papulosquamous reaction.
