maculopapular rash
Spotted raised eruption
A maculopapular rash combines flat discolored spots (macules) with raised bumps (papules), creating a textured, blotchy appearance on the skin.
It's a common presentation in viral infections like measles and rubella, drug reactions, and allergic responses.
The term appears frequently in medical documentation: The patient developed a diffuse maculopapular rash on day three of treatment.
