@thefnpreview: Erythema Multiforme: The Target Lesion You Can’t Miss 🎯 Erythema multiforme is an acute, immune-mediated skin condition most commonly triggered by HSV infections and sometimes medications. It’s a classic exam favorite because of its distinct target (bull’s-eye) lesions. ✔️ What you’ll see: ☑️ Target lesions with 3 zones (dark center, pale ring, red outer ring) ☑️ Symmetric distribution on hands, feet, and extensor surfaces ☑️ Possible mucosal involvement (EM major) ☑️ Often follows herpes simplex outbreak ⚠️ Board pearl: Target lesions after HSV = think erythema multiforme, not Stevens-Johnson syndrome. 🩺 Management: • Treat underlying trigger (e.g., antivirals for HSV) • Supportive care (antihistamines, topical steroids) • Severe mucosal involvement may require hospitalization Taking the 3P exam or FNP boards in 2026?
