Generalized fixed drug eruption following Pfizer‐BioNtech COVID‐19 vaccination

Abstract

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.
