'Maculopapular' is a medical term used to describe a unique type of rash. It is a portmanteau of the terms
#macule (meaning a small red lesion flush with the surface of the skin) and
#papule meaning a small, raised red lesion.
Thus, the rash is comprised of both raised and flat small red lesions. It can be seen in a variety of conditions, including the measles and syphilis.
