Figure 4: The monkeypox skin lesions usually, but not necessarily, are of the same stage which start on the face and then involve the whole body with a centrifugal distribution (a). The lesions become concentrated on the face and distal extremities (hands and feet) with fewer lesions on the trunk. The centripetal distribution of the skin lesions involves the face and trunks with fewer lesions on the extremities. This is usually seen in chickenpox disease (b).(Illustrated by Professor Fikri Abu-Zidan, Professor of Disaster Medicine, The Research Office, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates University)
