CASE STUDY
Chief Complaint
“I have had this itchy, scaly rash on my scalp and knees for 2 weeks. Because the rash is on my face, I do not want to go outside of my home because I feel other people are always staring at me. I have not been able to sleep, eat, or concentrate.”
History of Present Illness
K.B. is a 30 y.o. white female who presents to the office with a 2-week history of an itchy, scaly rash on both knees and scalp. She states she has had some rashes in the past but never as severe and never on her scalp. For the past 2 weeks she has not been able to sleep or to concentrate at work. When she gets home from work, she stays in the room alone.
