Abstract

Generalized bullous fixed drug eruptions are an uncommon presentation of adverse cutaneous drug reactions, rarely caused by paracetamol. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with extensive eroded lesions over the body, without mucosal lesions. She developed the lesions within hours of taking paracetamol. In spite of the severity of the reaction, she recovered well with treatment.
