History:

 A 50-year-old woman presented with nummular, oozy and crusted red plaque associated with itching and mild tenderness. Another small disc-like plaque was seen near the ankle area of same limb. Oral cephalexin 250 mg four times daily plus combined steroid-antibiotic cream (Betamethasone plus Fusidic acid) twice daily for two weeks yielded excellent response.
