note

I'm not sure that having a photo of a naked child on a website is a good idea. Perhaps we could find an alternative?

"We" could, I suppose. But since it is my "naked child" and I don't think it is in any way an exploitative photo, I'm putting it back up. It is a MUCH clearer image of the rash than the photo that currently accompanies the article. BTW, please sign and date your comments in the future.Estreya (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't have any problem with a picture showing a child with a rash (children do get rashes too!), however I don't think this rash appears to show the characteristic target lesion appearance of Erythema Multiforme. Nor does it does the lesions on the palm of the child's hands (and soles - obviously a little more tricky), which is an important helper in its diagnosis and so I think a more photo showing a more classical appearance should be found in addition to these here.

I agree with the above. The article lacks a good example image of the classical target lesion. I understand that the manifestation of EM is protean, but it would be great if we could source an image like this one from DermnetNZ.org.
