He was in good health and was not taking any medication. There was no family history of similar skin lesions. Physical examination revealed multiple erythematous, firm, nonscaly papules and annular plaques localized to the extensor surfaces of both legs. Some of the lesions had an annular configuration with a clearer center and slightly elevated and indurated borders composed of small papules. The rest of the physical examination findings were normal.
