Eruptive pyogenic granulomas and acne fulminans in two siblings treated with isotretinoin. A possible common pathogenesis.
We report the case of two siblings, one of whom presented isotretinoin-induced eruptive pyogenic granulomas in the course of severe acne, and the other developed isotretinoin-induced acne fulminans. A possible underlying common pathogenic process of these two side-effects of isotretinoin is discussed.
