Answer and Explanation 5

5.   D is the correct answer.  This is shingles.  This is characteristic grouped vesicles on a erythematous base in a dermatomal distribution.  Contact dermatitis can have  blister appearance but does not follow a dermatomal distribution.  MRSA typically has a more erythematous appearance and does not follow a dermatomal distribution.  It may have a central necrotic center.  Cellulitis too does not follow a dermatomal distribution and has more of a reddened and warm appearance.
