ABSTRACT

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a cutaneous adverse drug reaction characterized by recurrent well‐defined lesions occurring in the same sites each time the offending drug is taken. FDEs account for 4–39% of all drug eruptions. Commonly affected sites include the lips, genitals, palms, and soles. Typically, FDE presents as a sharply‐defined, round or oval erythematous and oedematous plaque which evolves to become dusky, violaceous, and occasionally vesicular or bullous. Giant bullous variant is an uncommon manifestation of FDE
