Asymmetric Periflexural Exanthem (APEC) is a distinctive and self-limited exanthem that classically affects children and, less frequently, adults. The precise etiology of this condition is unknown, but the hypothesis of a viral cause seems plausible but remains unconfirmed. APEC manifests as a unilateral papular exanthem with stereotypical morphology and distribution. Usually, laboratory investigations and biopsies are unnecessary for this condition because of its excellent prognosis and self-limited character in a few weeks. This activity describes APEC’s evaluation, diagnosis, and management and highlights the role of team-based interprofessional care for affected patients.
