Abstract

Fixed drug eruption is a cutaneous drug reaction which recurs at the same site when the individual is exposed to the causative drug, characterized by single or multiple round sharply demarcated erythematous-to-violaceous patches. Here, we report a patient with generalized non-bullous fixed drug eruption following mRNA-based Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Keywords: Exanthem; drug rash; fixed drug eruption, COVID‐19 vaccine; hyperpigmentation; mRNA vaccine; skin.
