ABSTRACT
Fixed drug eruptions (FDEs), first described by Bourns in 1889, are solitary or multiple, sharply demarcated, round to oval, edematous and erythematous patches that arise after exposure to a specific medication. They can be pink to dark red to brown and can be larger than 10 cm in size. In almost a third of patients in some case series, these lesions have been reported to progress to vesicles or bullae. Fixed drug eruptions have been associated in up to 40 percent of cases with non-steroidal inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen. We describe an interesting case of a biopsy-confirmed FDE that presented as large bullae on the posterior thigh after ibuprofen use.
