This article presents a case of phototoxic reaction following topical use of NSAID, which was initially mistaken for cellulitis and treated incorrectly, resulting in an exanthematous drug eruption. The patient was subsequently treated with topical and oral medications, but developed post-inflammatory hypopigmentation.
We present a case with a phototoxic reaction following topical use of NSAID. The phototoxic reaction was initially mistaken for cellulitis which led to treatment with dicloxacillin, which led to an exanthematous drug eruption. The patient was treated with topical clobetasol propionate and oral non-sedating antihistamines. Follow-up revealed post-inflammatory hypopigmentation.
