Novel Drugs Implicated in Pigmented Purpuric Dermatoses.

Skinmed 2018
We describe two cases of cutaneous eruptions of pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPDs) arising after exposure to medications not previously reported in the literature as causing these reactions. Specifically, two women had biopsy-proven PPDs, one after exposure to an over-the-counter iodine supplement marketed as an extract from "Norwegian kelp," and the other after intraocular injections of pegaptanib, a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor. The eruption occurred shortly after beginning the medication and resolved upon discontinuation. This highlights the importance of considering over-the-counter and intraocular medications when assessing cutaneous eruptions that may be medication related, such as PPDs.
