Abstract
A previously healthy 16-year-old female presented to a dermatology clinic for evaluation of a pruritic, multifocal rash on her left arm that had begun 2 months ago. The rash first appeared on her forearm and then spread to her wrist and upper arm (Fig. 1A). The patient had a history of eczema and applied a corticosteroid cream (triamcinolone) to the affected areas, but the rash did not improve or worsen, according to the patient. Also, the patient had an interest in veterinary medicine and worked with animals (goats, lambs, and sheep) in her spare time.
