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 <ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/11/ear-anatomy/ Anatomy of the Ear]</ref> to perforate and bleed. When this happens, please escort the dermatologist away and if needed get consent for blood transfusion.
