Though surgical excision and Mohs micrographic surgery remain definitive treatments for NMSC, the majority of affected patients are advanced in age and may have relative contraindications to surgery or preferences against it. As such, there is growing value in exploring less-invasive alternative techniques, such as superficial radiation therapy (SRT).

From Roseola Infantum's atypical fever-rash presentation to Rubeola's resurgence, it underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis. Rubella, frequently confused with measles, demands heightened suspicion, especially in adults and pregnant patients. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease's diverse manifestations warrant accurate differentiation. The discussion extends to Parvovirus B19, Varicella-Zoster Virus, Epstein-Barr Virus, and HIV Primary Infection. The resurgence of Mpox, Zika Virus's risks during pregnancy, and the rare but life-threatening Eczema Herpeticum are explored. Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome, Unilateral Laterothoracic Exanthem, and other viral conditions complete the landscape. In summary, this chapter offers a comprehensive understanding of viral exanthems, enabling clinicians to distinguish and manage these dermatological challenges. Accurate identification is crucial for providing specialized therapy to a minority of cases and supportive care to the majority. Vigilance, thorough examination, and a nuanced understanding of viral presentations are essential in navigating this intricate landscape.</p>","PeriodicalId":100366,"journal":{"name":"Dermatological Reviews","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/der2.225","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139739284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
