A 34-year-old nonpregnant @entity1 noted a mildly pruritic @entity272 on her right breast for 1 week following an episode of @entity18994 , and low-grade fever of 3 days' duration. The latter symptoms subsided without any treatment. @entity3102 cream prescribed by her family physician did not resolve the @entity0 after 1 week, so was stopped. A week later, multiple @entity272 erupted suddenly on her right chest wall starting near the herald patch in midaxillary line and spread distally until the midback. She then consulted the authors. She denied a history of abrasion or @entity130 to the affected areas. Travel, contact, sexual, and drug histories were unremarkable. She categorically denied past or family history of @entity484 , @entity1569 , @entity5526 , and @entity203 . On examination, the initial lesion was an annular and well-demarcated @entity527 on her right breast in the upper outer quadrant. Multiple small oval scaly plaques were noted, extending distally along the ribs to the midline on her back, not crossing the midline, predominantly over the distribution of right T4 dermatome (Figure 1). Peripheral collarette scaling was noted (Figure 2). A few scattered small lesions were also noted in the vicinity of this dermatome. Three isolated small plaques were also present on the trunk, one in the supramammary area and the other two on the abdomen and back, respectively. Palmoplantar and mucosal surfaces were uninvolved. The rest of the skin and systemic examination revealed no abnormalities. Complete blood cell counts, fasting @entity413 , and urinalysis were normal. @entity2953 Research Laboratory (VDRL) results were nonreactive and @entity1 @entity465 virus (HIV) antibodies were negative. Repeat testing ofVDRL in serial dilutions and HIV antibodies after 3 months were also nonreactive and negative, respectively. Scrapings from the initial large lesion and subsequent smaller eruptions did not show any evidence of @entity364 on @entity4014 smear examination. The @entity1 declined skin biopsy; however, we thought that the most diagnostic label for this condition was @entity17393 . Hence, we treated her with @entity2995 ointment 0.025% to be applied twice daily and @entity14295 tablet 5 mg daily for 10 days. The @entity1 demonstrated complete resolution, leaving @entity4182 . There was no recurrence until 1 year after complete remission.
