[Bufexamac-induced pigmented purpuric eruption].

Abstract

We report on a case of a bufexamac-induced allergic contact dermatitis with hematogenous dissemination presenting with the clinical and histological picture of a pigmented purpuric eruption. To our knowledge this is the first report on a bufexamac-induced pigmented purpuric dermatosis. It represents a further example of the clinical variety of cutaneous side-effects caused by bufexamac.
