AB A  2-year-old  Hispanic  male  presents  to  the  clinic  with  erythematous,  round,  moist,  crusted  lesions  on  the  left  thigh  (Figure  133-1)  and  right  arm.  His  mother  noted  several  small  bumps  initially,  which  developed  into  coin-shaped  lesions  over  the  next  few  weeks.  The  child  is  scratching  them  but  is  otherwise  healthy.  A  KOH  preparation  of  the  scraping  from  the  lesions  did  not  show  fungal  structures.  The  child  responds  well  to  treatment  with  topical  mid-potency  corticosteroids,  emollients,  and  dressing  in  long-sleeve  clothes  to  prevent  scratching  the  lesions.  His  nummular  eczema  resolved  in  6  weeks.
