She noted that the new rash appeared to form overnight, was extremely painful, and would occasionally drain a clear liquid after scratching. It did not respond to her usual over-the-counter regimen of moisturizers prompting her to be evaluated. She had subjective fevers and malaise but denied oral or genital ulcers, vaginal discharge, dysuria, ocular irritation, visual disturbances, and upper respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. Review of systems was otherwise unremarkable.</p><p class="p1">She had no other known medical problems, allergies, and denied drug and alcohol use.
