title: [Fixed food eruption caused by liquorice].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fixed drug eruption is a characteristic cutaneous adverse reaction that recurs at fixed localisations. It is due to medical drugs. However, food may sometimes be responsible for a similar eruption, known as "fixed food eruption". We report a case of fixed food eruption due to liquorice.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 22-year-old woman presented with liquorice-induced fixed drug reaction. Topical challenges remained negative both at previously affected sites and in unaffected skin. Therapeutic re-exposure to liquorice confirmed the diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To our knowledge, we report the first case of food drug reaction caused by liquorice.
