Key Clinical Message The etiology of rash in a given patient can be so varied. Good history‐taking is very important to prevent unnecessary work‐up. In this patient with Churg‐Strauss syndrome, the rash was due to “coining,” a traditional practice followed in Southeast Asian community and had no relation to her underlying disease.
