Case 4:
For 3 weeks, a 28-year-old man has had a pruritic, bilateral axillary rash. He stopped using deodorant, but the condition has not improved.

Case 4: Inverse pityriasis rosea

The development of oval-shaped lesions following an upper respiratory tract infection points to the diagnosis of inverse pityriasis rosea, D-a condition in which pityriasis rosea is confined primarily to the axillary vaults, sometimes including the groin area and generally sparing the trunk.

The other conditions in the differential-contact dermatitis, candidiasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis-are characterized by confluent rather than multiple discrete lesions.
