There are many nuances in diagnosing dermatology conditions. Things may look the same to an untrained eye. An annular erythema could range from something as benign as a fungal infection to something as life-threatening as a paraneoplastic syndrome signalling underlying cancer.

Proper history taking and thorough physical examination are key. "Looks" can be very deceiving in dermatology. There are other factors like systemic involvement, drug history, and ethnicity which can influence how lesions appear.

Additionally, one diagnosis may have various variants but also a lot of mimickers, for example, secondary syphilis, which itself is also a great mimicker. Dermatologists can also get duped and need to perform a biopsy or even collaborate with colleagues in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
