Case. A 7-year-old boy presents with a 3-day history of intense pruritus on his wrists, fingers, and antecubital fossae. It began on his fingers and has moved proximally. According to his mother, they are raised red eruptions and some have scabbed over. She states he has never had this before and it is keeping him up at night. He recently started at a new school. Question. What procedure would be most helpful in confirming your diagnosis?
