Strange forearm vesicles

A 38-year-old male patient is admitted to the emergency department for shortness of breath, dizziness and blurred vision. On taking vital signs, a blood pressure of 180/90 mmHg is recorded, while the other vital signs are within normal limits. On removing his jacket, vesicular eruptions are observed on the left forearm, which are not painful, itchy or with a burning sensation. On questioning, the patient reported that the lesions began 6 days ago. However, after three days, only crusts are observed. He also indicates that he did not apply any type of cream or ingest ABX. No chemical or allergen contact, also no insect bites or any relevant PMH. HBP episode was acute; he wasn't an undiagnosed chronic HBP pt, the episode of HBP resolved by itself.
