Ms. Brayton, 26, was having a routine physical examination when she asked, "What do you think that is?" Ms. Brayton pointed to an erythematous rash on her right thigh. It was about three inches in diameter. The nurse-practitioner did a brief scan of the rest of Ms. Brayton's skin and found a similar area, smaller in size, on her back. In both cases, the pattern was circular, with the rash on the outside of the circle and the center of the circle unaffected. Ms. Brayton said that she had noticed the condition on her leg a couple of weeks ago. It did itch, but she tried not to scratch it. QUESTIONS 1. What is the most likely cause of Ms. Brayton's rash? A. Tinea corporis B. Pediculosis C. Scabies D. Folliculitis 2. How would the nurse-practitioner treat Ms. Brayton's rash?
