title: Painful rash on face.
abstract: First came a sore throat. Then came a warm, erythematous rash on the patient's face. A 68-year-old woman came into the clinic for treatment of a painful, erythematous skin rash over the bridge of her nose. She'd had the rash for 4 days, and it was spreading to the malar area and up around her eyelids and forehead.
