An otherwise healthy 26-year-old woman presented for a two-week follow-up after laparoscopic rotator cuff repair. She had a mildly pruritic eruption that began approximately one week after surgery and gradually worsened. The lesions were fixed and occurred in the area where she was using a cooling device. She was afebrile and feeling otherwise well. Physical examination revealed multiple, round, erythematous, 1to 2-cm plaques coalescing into larger plaques confined to the shoulder and proximal upper arm (Figure 1). There was no overlying scale and minimal induration.
