Abstract

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors are being increasingly used in the treatment of non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. Cutaneous toxicity of various EGFR inhibitors is being increasingly noticed by dermatologists. We hereby report a case of papulopustular eruption in a male patient who had received oral afatinib for well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. The offending drug was continued and the papulopustular eruption was treated with oral doxycycline and local care.
