A 24-year-old woman is evaluated for a rash on her face for several months’ duration. The rash isn’t bothersome but has gotten worse over the summer. She washes her face with soap and water twice daily and has recently changed soaps. Previously her skin was normal. She is otherwise healthy. Her only medication is an oral contraceptive pill, which she started 3 months ago. (Image source: MKSAP)
