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.
