Protean Symptoms: Commonly urticaria is a pruritic lesion that is transient & characterized by a wheal & flare response to some trigger. Acanthosis nigricans, usu not transient, can be associated diabetes (and some believe w an internal malignancy) found on intertriginous areas. Finally an infectious process may present w generalized skin lesions (syphillis, rickettsia, measles, etc). See your md/do.
