Michael, a 25-year-old military reservist, presents to your clinic for a rash that began on his chest and has
since developed into smaller lesions that are more concentrated on the lower abdomen and pubic area.
In obtaining a history of the present illness, he reports that he had an upper respiratory infection 1
month before the rash developed. He tells you it started with 1 large oval-shaped lesion on his left chest,
and 1 to 2 weeks later he developed numerous smaller lesions on the lower abdomen and groin. It has
been 2 weeks since the smaller lesions developed, and he tells you he is concerned that the rash isn't
