- A 42-year-old Latino man with a long history of vitiligo visited an outpatient clinic due to a recurring itchy rash on his face and hands that has persisted for 25 years.
- During the examination, doctors found pink, scaly patches on various areas including the nose, cheeks, and hands, with some swelling and crusting on his lips and signs of eye irritation.

The case is discussed with concerns for imiquimod use in molluscum contagiosum when used near mucosal surfaces.
