title: Letter: Fixed drug eruption caused by the Japanese herbal drug kakkonto.
abstract: Herbal drugs are now widely used throughout the world. The general public tends to believe these agents to be safe because of their natural origin; thus, they are used frequently. However, the side effects of many of these potent chemicals may be significant. Several cases of fixed drug eruption (FDE) caused by herbal drugs have been reported. We herein report a case of FDE caused by kakkonto.
