Caption:
This image depicts the volar surface of a patient’s left forearm, including the palmar surface of the left hand, upon which you will note the maculopapular rash of chickenpox, which was evident on the 4th-day of the rash onset. Chickenpox, usually does not produce papules on the palms, or the soles of the feet. The rash is generalized, and pruritic (itchy). It progresses rapidly from macules, to papules, to vesicular lesions before crusting. The rash usually appears first on the head, chest, and back then spreads to the rest of the body. The lesions are usually most concentrated on the chest and back.
