Chemotherapy-induced acral erythema is a painful erythema of the palms and soles which occurs following chemotherapy. It is usually seen due to cytarabine, doxorubicin and fluorouracil. We present a 40-year-old male patient, a biopsy proven case of squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth, who developed a bullous variant of acral erythema after a single intravenous dose of methotrexate...

Sorafenib is a new therapeutic agent being used in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. The most frequently seen cutaneous side effects due to sorafenib are erythema, exfoliative dermatitis, acne vulgaris, and flushing. Folliculitis, eczema, and erythema multiforme are other, rare side effects of sorafenib. A 59-year-old man underwent left radical n...

Erythema marginatum is a characteristic skin rash seen in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE); however, it can be confused with urticaria, leading to delay in correct diagnosis. The aim of this study was to clarify how often erythema marginatum is misinterpreted as urticaria, potentially leading physicians to refrain from testing for HAE. Few studies have been published on urticaria and p...

ElINE manifestation of overexposure of the skin to x-ray radiation employed diagnostically is the appearance of an erythema similar to sunburn. This paper presents the experimental results of a study which was completed to determine the amount of radiation from a dental x-ray machine that is required to produce an erythema of the skin on the flexor surface of the forearm. There are many referen...
