This webpage describes the clinical features of mpox (with photos) highlighting that lesions are firm, rubbery, and often have a dot on top. Lesions progress through stages: macular, papular, vesicular to pustular before scabbing. Symptoms like fever and sore throat may occur before or after the rash. The incubation period is 3-17 days with illness lasting 2-4 weeks. Lesions can appear in various body areas but not always on palms or soles. The disease has an incubation period followed by prodrome and rash stages; patients are contagious until all scabs fall off and new skin forms underneath.
