Cutaneous complications of parenteral pentazocine abuse.
A 26-year-old man, a parenteral pentazocine abuser for past 10 years, presented with woody induration on the areas of injections and multiple, punched-out, deep, painless ulcers surrounded by hyperpigmented halo. This appears to be the first report from India on skin manifestations of pentazocine abuse.
