TLDR Finasteride, a hair loss drug, caused a skin rash that went away when the drug was stopped and returned when used again.
In 2007, a unique case of erythema annulare centrifugum, a type of skin eruption, was reported following the use of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia. The skin condition resolved once the medication was stopped and reappeared when the drug was reintroduced. This case suggested a potential hypersensitivity to finasteride, indicating a need for further study.
