NURS 6531 Week 2 Discussion.

J.V. 50-year-old patient with a history of eczema is here today complaining of lesions on the right side of her face and neck. She thinks it is a flare up of her eczema and is asking for a refill of her ointment, TAC 0.1%. She complains of some ‘itching’ and a bit of ‘tingling and pain’ to the lesions. She’s a pharmaceutical worker and thinks that the ‘pain’ may be due to contaminate exposure. Denies any other associating symptoms. Below is a photo of the lesions.
