15. B is the correct answer. This rash is characteristic of impetigo. It has this yellowish crusty material on the surface of a plaque. Causative organisms include staph aureus and strep pyrogenes. Oral and topical antibiotic therapy should be targeted at that. Herpes zoster has more of a vesicular or ulcerated appearance and does not have a crusty surface. Tinea has more of a desquamation appearance to it and does not have the yellow crusty material. Eczema is typically a lighter more pink patchy lesion.
