Beside the distribution in the body (i.e., generalized versus localized), this descriptor refers to the
relationship of lesions to one another:
Clustered (grouped, herpetiform) lesions are in close proximity, occurring in a group or series of
groups.
Confluent (coalescent) lesions are multiple and blending together.
Dermatomal lesions are typically distributed along neurocutaneous dermatomes. Like herpes zoster
(shingles).
