History of Present Illness
++
RP is a 16-year-old male who presents to his primary care provider’s clinic at his mother’s insistence because of a persistent pruritic rash on his trunk and feet. He is a high school sophomore and a member of the wrestling team. He reports having two areas on his trunk that are circular, red, and itchy. He says they have increased in size since he first noticed them about 3 weeks ago. He says his feet have always smelled bad, but he first started to notice redness and “extreme itching” between his toes on both feet about 2 weeks ago. He has used over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the rash on his trunk without improvement. He also started applying deodorizing spray to his feet a week ago without improvement.
