title: Fixed exanthema due to paracetamol.
abstract: Fixed exanthema represents 10% of the adverse reactions to medications. Up to 80% of the cases are caused by drugs. The lesions are frequently located on the genitals, perianal region, limbs and oral mucosa, in descending order of frequency. We describe the case of a 36-year-old man who developed fixed exanthema following administration of paracetamol.
