Descripción
Sumario:Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a type of drug-induced cutaneous disorder that characteristically presents with recurrence of similar lesion at the same skin or mucosal site as a result of systemic exposure to a drug. Paracetamol is commonly prescribed analgesic-antipyretic agent in all age group of patients. FDE due to paracetamol is not very common but it is well reported in literature for all age groups. We report a case of a 7-year-old male with FDE due to paracetamol involving upper eyelid and presenting as an eyelid skin necrosis.
