Why are #dermatologists so obsessed with description?
Well, for us, morphology is everything. We start with the exam and take the history afterward based on the possible differential we've come up with!

That was a PATCH of vitiligo.
PATCHES are flat lesions >1 cm wide, whereas MACULES are flat lesions <1 cm wide! Check out photo #1 of perioral vitiligo where macules are coalescing into patches!
In #2, you can see both macules and patches in these Cafe au lait lesions.

2/ (POLL) With maintenance IV fluids, which cell lines can you see decrease due to hemodilution?
3/ To unpack this, we need to first start with the definition...

Hemodilution implies dilution of the normal blood constitutents occuring either spontaneously after injury and/or blood loss, or as a result of plasma replacement or expansion.l
