Single Localization of Bullous Fixed Drug Eruption on the Eyelid: An Unusual Presentation for a Classic Diagnosis

Abstract

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is an adverse drug reaction characterised by recurrent plaques within the same site after drug ingestion. The typical pigmented evolution and notion of drug intake have considerable diagnostic value. Eyelid is a rare localization of FDE that may be challenging for diagnosis, especially when allergological testing is not possible. The risk of further adverse reaction and ocular involvement makes it necessary for physicians to be familiar with this localization. We hereby report a case of a solitary FDE of the left upper eyelid.
