Answer 1

Auspitz's sign is commonly seen in psoriasis vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches of skin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Auspitz's sign, which is the appearance of specks of blood when peeling away a scale, is commonly seen in psoriasis vulgaris. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches of skin.

In the other options mentioned in the question, Auspitz's sign is not typically observed.

Atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, exanthematous (morbiliform) drug eruption, drug-induced acute urticaria, erythema (chronica) migrans, scabies, syphilis, and chancre do not exhibit the characteristic finding of Auspitz's sign.
