Summary:<p>A 22-year-old female presented to clinic for a routine appointment and was incidentally noted to have multiple nummular patches on her upper extremities bilaterally (Figures 1,2). She reported that the lesions have been present for more than two years and their distribution had spread from her arms to her chest and back. She also reported a new "rash" in her hairline that seemed different from these lesions. The patient reported that the lesions on her arms, chest, and back were mildly pruritic when exposed to sun or ocean water but were otherwise asymptomatic.</p>
