Answer and Explanation 2

2. C is the correct answer.  Kerion is a scalp lesion that develops with tinea capitus that is an inflamed secondarily infected lesion.  It has a boggy granulated appearance.  It is best treated with oral anti fungals, and oral antibiotics may be needed.  Pemphigus is a bullous lesion that usually affects the torso the most.  This is not a cutaneous abscess. This is not shingles because there is no vesicular appearance and it does not follow a dermatomal distribution.
