A 45 yo F with a PMH of TTP presented with a rash on her forehead that has been present for over a month that has slowly progressed into a larger rash. She denies pain, pruritus, or new lotions on this area. When asked about hair products, soaps, dyes, and any new creams she is using she does not identify any new ones but she is unsure if her hairdresser changed products on her. She uses dove and another non scented soap which are not new. She did try some triamcinolone cream by another provider and she reports “it made it drier” and thus she stopped this. No other rashes including flexural areas. She denies fever, joint pain, Malay rash, mouth ulcers, rash behind the ears.
No other rashes observed on exam.
I prescribed lotrisone cream.
