| Abstract: | Many drugs have been implicated in the genesis of eruptions resembling lichen planus (Gange & Wilson Jones, 1978; Almeyda & Baker, 1970) and lupus erythemarosus (Raferty & Denman, 1973; Tuffanelli, 1972).
We report the development of both the above in the same patient during treatment with a beta blocking agent. On withdrawal of the drug the lesions resolved. |
