title: [Fixed drug-induced exanthema of the glans].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To claim attention on an relatively frequent adverse reaction to drugs affecting genitalia, therefore a reason for consultation to the Urology Department.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a clinical case and a bibliographic review of this disease.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fixed drug eruption is a cutaneous eruption secondary to drug intake that appears every time the drug is taken, always in the same location, being more common in hands and feet. The course of the disease is usually progressive with increasing number of lesions after each dose of drug taken.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Relapsing lesions in the same spot is key for the proper diagnosis of this eruption. To forbid causing drug intake is the treatment of choice, although it may be necessary to administer local or even oral corticosteroids.
