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 to perforate and bleed. When this happens, please escort the dermatologist away and if needed get consent for blood transfusion.
