What symptom is indicative of Milaria rubra?

  1. Symmetrical, skin colored moles

  2. An acute burning, itching rash from excessive heat

  3. Irregular, red-pink growths

  4. Translucent nodules with irregular borders

The correct answer is: An acute burning, itching rash from excessive heat

An acute burning, itching rash from excessive heat is a common symptom of Milaria rubra. The other options do not match the characteristic rash that is associated with this skin condition. For example, symmetrical skin colored moles are more commonly associated with a condition called dysplastic nevi. Irregular, red-pink growths may refer to a condition called cherry angiomas, and translucent nodules with irregular borders may indicate a different skin condition such as basal cell carcinoma. Therefore, the most likely option is B as it closely matches the description of the rash associated with Milaria rubra.
