Q1. A teenager presents with a 2 week history of red scaly lesions on his back. Except for some mild fatigue and a recent URTI he has otherwise been well. On exam he has a T 100.2 and the lesions on his back are shown. The dermatologist describes these lesions as ‘small pinkish red scaly raindrops.’ If the appearance of these lesions was sudden, what is the next step in his management? (hint-look at surface of the lesions)
a. Aspirate the lesion
b. Biopsy the lesion
c. Throat culture
d. Blood culture
e. Urine culture
