A 36-year-old man has four nodules on his right upper extremity that have been present for 6 months. Two of the nodules are on the back of his hand, one is on his wrist, and the fourth one, which appeared most recently, is on his forearm. He feels well and denies fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Dicloxacillin, cephalexin, and amoxicillin–clavulanate have not been effective in healing the lesions. He does not have a dog, has never traveled outside of the United States, and does not garden or fish.
