The patient is a 60 yo man with a pmhx of COPD who noted a recent eruption of vesicles
on trunk, as well as his forehead and scalp. No fever. No other pertinent history.
No itch. No pain. No new meds.
It started as blisters on the trunk, slightly itchy but no other symptoms, and not painful. The lesions opened up with
clear fluid being expressed and leaving shallow ulcers. They have started become
generalized with new lesions on the scalp and genitalia.
O/E: Lesions appear like small bullae/vesicles
on chest and abdomen, with clear fluid. In the center is what appears to be a
black point, probably the hair follicle. There is no erythema on or around
these lesions.
