Most commonly, athlete's foot can lead to localised vesicles on hands, bacterial infections to erythema nodosum and herpes simplex virus to erythema multiforme. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The diagnosis is frequently made by treating the initial triggering skin problem and observing the improvement in the eczematous rash.
The condition varies from a mild, self-limited rash (E. multiforme minor) [4] to a severe, life-threatening form known as erythema multiforme major (or erythema multiforme majus) that also involves mucous membranes. [5] Consensus classification: [6] Erythema multiforme minor—typical targets or raised, edematous papules distributed acrally
Clinically, the earliest lesions may appear as a hives-like red raised rash, but could also appear dermatitic, targetoid, lichenoid, nodular, or even without a rash (essential pruritus). [1] Tense bullae eventually erupt, most commonly at the inner thighs and upper arms, but the trunk and extremities are frequently both involved.

In a normal case, the swelling will decrease without treatment within 15–30 minutes, but, in extreme cases, itchy red welts may last anywhere from a few hours to days. In some cases, welts are accompanied with a painful burning sensation. [3] This calls for more urgent treatment as the condition can impact on the patient's quality of life.
Tinea cruris (TC), also known as jock itch, is a common type of contagious, superficial fungal infection of the groin and buttocks region, which occurs predominantly but not exclusively in men and in hot-humid climates.
