Rash description or position? - js


Posted: Oct 19, 2010

I'm having trouble deciphering this word b/c I'm not sure if I should be looking for a type of rash or if she's simply telling where it is..."Rash - s/l privacy left arm - lupus erythematosus versus dermatosis versus lupus-like reaction to a drug versus urticaria...Resolution of the erythematous raised lesions on the upper arm."

That is all that is said about the rash.  Thanks for any help!

pruritus - Kelli

pruritus = itching

I thought of that, but it really doesn't sound anywhere close to it. - js
