Erythema Multiforme

Erythema multiforme is a skin condition characterized by red patches or spots, often resembling target or bull's-eye shapes. It typically occurs as a reaction to infections, medications, or sometimes an unknown cause. Common triggers include viruses like herpes simplex. Symptoms may include itchy or painful lesions and can affect the skin and mucous membranes. While it can be alarming, erythema multiforme is usually self-limiting and resolves on its own. However, severe cases may require medical treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and care.
