AbstractRashes are common complaints on ships. With limited diagnostic tests and no specialists readily available, treating serious skin conditions is difficult. The patient in this case report had a gradually worsening, severe rash, with multiple possible etiologies, in which incorrect treatment could have resulted in significant morbidity. Moreover, medical evacuations are costly and detrimental to accomplishing Navy mission objectives. This report highlights the medical workup of an unidentified, severe rash with only limited diagnostic tools and a varied medical history.
