Benign Cutaneous Adverse Reactions to Drugs

Abstract

AbstractAdverse drug reactions commonly involve the skin and represent a significant proportion of all drug‐induced illnesses. There is a broad spectrum of phenotypes encountered in cutaneous adverse reactions and many can mimic other inflammatory rashes. Rarely, drug hypersensitivity dermatoses can be life threatening and involve internal organs; however, most eruptions are mild, affect the skin only and are self‐limiting on drug withdrawal. These disorders can be considered as the benign cutaneous adverse reactions.
