Skin crypto (diagnosis from hospital)

Confusion is possible with "molluscum contagiosum" and "penniciliosis". The symetrical distribution of "skin crypto" distinguishes molluscum from "skin-crypto" In penicilliosis, you would expect deep bloosy "broken vesicles". Basically, skin crypto is a papular(1) disease, with some umbilicated papules(2). The face and arms are more affected than rest of body.
