  • 151 Childhood Viral Rashes Made Simple – Exanthems, HFMD, Chickenpox & the Patterns That Show Up on PANCE
    Jan 13 2026

    In this episode of the Physician Assistant Exam Review Podcast, we take the "dreaded" childhood viral rashes and make them organized, predictable, and testable. Instead of memorizing numbered diseases, you'll learn how to sort exanthems, HFMD, chickenpox, HSV, molluscum, warts, and genital warts by pattern so you can pick the right diagnosis under pressure.

    We'll cover:

    • Which infant rash appears after several days of high fever (and how to never mix it up again)
    • How to tell measles, rubella, scarlet fever, fifth disease, and roseola apart using fever timing and distribution
    • The difference between viral exanthems and hand-foot-and-mouth disease on exam stems
    • Why "vesicles in multiple stages at once" should instantly trigger varicella in your mind
    • How to separate HSV, molluscum, and warts using pain, grouping, and umbilication
    • The key clues that distinguish common warts from genital warts (condyloma acuminatum) on test day

    If you're working hard but your scores aren't moving the way you want, it's usually not effort. It's strategy.

    On Thursday at 8 pm EST, I'm hosting a free PANCE Game Plan Class where we'll walk through:

    • A 33‑day PANCE content calendar built from the blueprint percentages
    • The 5‑part Score Stack system to make every exam push your score up
    • An anxiety‑proof exam protocol you can run before and during every test
