A 22-year-old Caucasian man presents to his general practitioner with multiple itchy red teardrop papules

A 22-year-old Caucasian man presents to his general practitioner with multiple itchy red teardrop papules on his arms, back and abdomen. He states that these red spots developed quite suddenly. Other than a sore throat two weeks ago, he has no significant past medical history. He noticed a similar rash but was less severe last time when he had a sore throat. On examination, you found some white-coloured discharge on his tonsils.
