Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 59-year-old woman (with obesity and type 2 diabetes) presents with a 6-month history of a brown somewhat pruritic rash in both axillae (Figure 125-1A). She had been seen by multiple physicians and received many antifungal creams and topical steroids with no improvement. She had stopped wearing deodorant for fear that she was allergic to all deodorants. The rash demonstrated the classic coral red fluorescence of erythrasma (Figure 125-1B). The patient was given a prescription for oral erythromycin, and to her great delight the erythrasma cleared.
