Maculopapular Rash
Maculopapular describes a rash that contains both macules and papules. A macule is a
flat discolored area of the skin, and a papule is a small raised bump. A maculopapular
rash is usually a large area that is red, and has small, confluent bumps. The sandpapery
rash of scarlet fever, or scarletina, is the classic example of a maculopapular rash. |
