This image depicts a close inferoanterior view of a patient’s chin, showing papillomatous lesions that had developed in this 30-year-old woman after she breastfed her 13-month-old infant. The infection was diagnosed as yaws. It began as a lesion on her left breast and subsequently spread to her back. The Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test (VDRL) test produced a positive result of 1:8 and was accompanied by the microhemagglutination assay (MHA-TP) test, which was also reactive, or positive. Treatment for this patient consisted of an intramuscular injection of 2.4 mega (million) units of benzathine benzylpenicillin (benzathine penicillin G).
