A maculopapular rash is a type of rash characterized by internal medicine physicians as macular and/or papular, possibly rash-like, and involving the skin. To any internist and hospitalist, the differential diagnosis for a maculopapular rash includes nearly every skin condition and infection known to man because they are all maculopapular and as a result needs dermatology involved. To emphasize this point, internal medicine physicians will repeatedly say maculopapular in increasingly louder tones, causing any dermatologist's eardrums[1] to perforate and bleed. When this happens, please escort the dermatologist away and if needed get consent for blood transfusion.
