Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Acne conglobata is a chronic type of acne of unknown cause that begins in middle adulthood. It causes serious skin lesions consisting of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, and scars. This acne occurs primarily on the back, buttocks, and chest. Contact dermatitis is manifested as a raised, reddened area that appears as a rash and can occur anywhere on the body, affecting individuals of all ages. Acne vulgaris is found in preteens, teens, and young adults, and occurs on the face and shoulders. Acne rosacea appears as a red, blotchy area and is limited to the face.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
This patient is most likely experiencing herpes zoster. Vesicles appear on the skin and usually appear unilaterally on the face, trunk, or thorax. The patient often experiences severe pain for up to 48 hours before and during eruption of the lesions. The pain may continue for weeks to months. Herpes simplex is usually located on the face, mouth, or genital regions. The clinical manifestations that this patient reports are inconsistent with verruca or condylomata.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
