History of Present Illness (HPI)
A 2-year-old female presents to the outpatient clinic accompanied by
her mother, who reports the child developed a rash 3 days ago. The
rash initially appeared on the trunk and has since spread to the face,
arms, and legs. The mother describes the rash as red, slightly raised,
and itchy, with some areas appearing as small, fluid-filled vesicles. The
child has been irritable and scratching the affected areas. The mother
reports a low-grade fever (100.4°F) two days prior to the onset of the
rash, which resolved spontaneously. There are no reports of recent
changes in diet, soaps, detergents, or medications. The child attends
daycare, and the mother notes that another child in the daycare was
recently ill with a similar rash. The mother denies any known allergies,
