| Plaque Notes | 90% of the plaques are 1-1.5 mm wide with a bullseye appearance - a darker circumference, a lighter ring in the middle, and a dark speck directly in the center. The other 10% is likely a smaller variant of the bullseye plaques, being too small to identify a bullseyes pattern with the naked eye so they look like tiny speckles |
