Abstract
A 25-year-old male presented with a painful pruritic rash on his right leg that began approximately one week earlier after clearing brush from his back yard. The rash, which was located on the anterior shin, began to swell, darken and weep fluid over the previous 72 hours. The patient denies any previous similar rashes.
His past medical history was unremarkable. He denied any history of known allergies or prior allergic reactions, insect bites or stings, reptile bites, or trauma to the leg.
On examination, an erythematous-violaceous plaque with interspersed vesicles weeping yellow serous fluid and a well-demarcated distal border along the sock line was present on the right anterior shin (Figure 1).
