trunk in up to 90% of cases but may not always be present. The
patch may be defined as erythematous with slightly elevated
scaling borders and a lighter depressed center. Progression of the
rash can occur for up to 6 weeks into a generalized rash and may
take on a fir-tree pattern. Therefore, the rash may take several
months to resolve (D) altogether. Pruritus is present in up to 50%
of cases. There are also noted prodromal constitutional
