Truncal Rash with Islands of Sparing – Let’s Diagnose

A 68-year-old woman went to the doctor after noticing a rash that had developed on her trunk over the past few weeks. On examination, there were multiple confluent, orange-red plaques on the trunk and arms with “islands of sparing” within them. The rash had a primarily truncal distribution and was pruritic. She was otherwise feeling well.

Is it seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, atopic dermatitis, or tinea corporis?
