Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Pruritus, burning, or stinging at the site often precedes the development of skin lesions. The lesions consist of clustered vesicles on a reddened base. The lesions have a herpetiform configuration, and the distribution is symmetrical. The extensor surfaces of the knees and elbows are often affected, as are the posterior scalp, neck, back, and thighs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The skin lesions of herpes consist of multiple vesicles, which cluster and are usually preceded by an area of tender erythema. The vesicles erode, forming ulcerations.
