Abstract
A 47 year old contractor returns from a six month stay in Iraq. He has been well during the course of his visit to the Middle East. He attends the local travel clinic for booster vaccines and asks about a lesion on his right forearm (See attached photo). It started as a small papule that developed an erythematous halo. He has no symptoms but is concerned about it expanding.
