Abstract
Little is known about the effects of methyl iodide (MI) on the skin after short-term accidental cutaneous exposure because this type of exposure to MI has rarely been reported. In the present case, asymptomatic vesicles developed within 24 hours of exposure, an acute hemorrhagic eruption developed several days later, and an erythematous edematous eruption and large bullae developed several days after the hemorrhagic eruption. This sequence of findings was remarkably similar to the most recently reported case of short-term accidental MI exposure, and we believe that the findings described and the time course of the findings may be a reproducible phenomenon following this type of cutaneous exposure to MI.
