Cutaneous Drug Reaction Case Reports

In 2002, a series of case reports detailed various cutaneous drug reactions. These included allergic contact dermatitis and conjunctivitis from Acetylcysteine, allergic contact dermatitis from Arbekacin, alopecia areata during treatment with cabergoline and selegiline in a Parkinson's patient, recurring alopecia areata after antineoplastic therapy, and photocontact dermatitis from dexketoprofen trometamol. Two women developed acral erythrodysesthesia syndrome during treatment with docetaxel for breast cancer. Other reactions included skin lesions, fingernail dystrophy, toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema necrolyticum migrans in neonates, a persistent papulonodular lesion from a hepatitis B vaccine, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis from imatinib mesylate. Notably, a woman developed an allergic reaction to both minoxidil and Serenoa repens, used for androgenetic alopecia, marking the first reported case of allergic contact dermatitis associated with saw palmetto.
