Truncal morbilliform eruption due to nifedipine.
A fifty-year-old white woman noted a morbilliform eruption that involved her trunk, arms, and legs but spared her face, following oral administration of nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker. Other dermatologic reactions to nifedipine have included edema with erythema, erythromelalgia, exfoliative erythroderma, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, purpura, and fixed drug reactions.
