Nonpigmented fixed drug eruption caused by paracetamol.
Fixed drug eruption from paracetamol is not rare but no cases of nonpigmented fixed drug eruption caused by paracetamol have been previously described. We present the case of a woman who developed a nonpigmented fixed drug eruption following administration of paracetamol. Patch tests performed on affected and unaffected skin with paracetamol were negative. The diagnosis was made by a double-blind oral challenge with paracetamol. The patient tolerated aspirin.
