Since #Monkeypox seems to transition from:
Macules ➡️ Papules ➡️ Vesicles ➡️ Pustules
The primary lesion isn't enough to make the diagnosis. You're going to need the primary lesion AND time from rash onset to know what you should be expecting to see.

The prodrome that occurs before the rash includes the typical ILI type symptoms of fever, malaise, headache, pharyngitis, and cough. Lymphadenopathy has been billed as a distinguishing feature of MPX from smallpox and Varicella.

“The Erythemas” – A #dermatology #meded #FOAMEd #tweetorial. pc:@dermnetnz
Ever get all the different #dermatologic terms jumbled up? Was it erythema nodosum, erythema migrans, or erythema multiforme?
Honest poll – Ever write “rash” b/c you couldn’t remember the diagnosis?

All kidding aside, these terms can get confusing. Remember though, derm terms are usually just descriptors of what you see. The name tells you all you need to know.
For example: Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) = pustules suddenly appeared everywhere!

So, the “erythemas.” First off, what does “erythema” actually mean? Well, according to my Google machine, it's from the Greek root “eruthros” meaning “red.” So "erythema" doesn’t add much to our knowledge of what the rash looks like other than it’s red, and so, likely inflamed
