erythema or erythematous simply means redness....
maculopapular is a compound word.... maculo coming from macules, and papular --- papule.. a macule is a lesion of the skin that is flattened or depressed...you call it macule if its less than 1 cm, if its greater than 1 cm.. you call it patch. papules are elevated lesions of the skin usually measuring less than 1 cm, if its greater than 1 cm.. it is called plaque........rash may connote pruritus or itchiness....... an erythematous maculopapular rash can be anything....in dermatology... you classify that as a primary lesion.... and you need to take a very detailed history and avolution of the lesions that will guide you in diagnosing dermatological diseases.
