What type of rash is characterized by satellite lesions?

The type of rash that is characterized by satellite lesions is indeed associated with a Candida infection. In cases of a candidal rash, particularly in areas of skin that are subject to moisture, such as the groin, armpits, or under the breasts, one may observe distinct red patches surrounded by smaller red lesions. These smaller lesions, known as satellite lesions, indicate that the infection is not confined to a single area but is rather spreading or has multiple foci due to the yeast's proliferation.

The presence of satellite lesions is a hallmark of Candida dermatitis and signifies irritation and fungal infection, often exacerbated in moist environments. Consequently, recognizing these satellite lesions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment of the rash.
