, Ravi Prakash, M.B.B.S., Vinod Kumar Sinha, M.B.B.S., M.D., D.P.M.Abstract |
Drug-induced acneiform eruptions are inflammatory follicular reactions that resemble acne vulgaris both in morphology and distribution, which manifest clinically as papulopustules and occasionally as comedones.

The acneiform eruption could be explained on the basis of Type III allergic mechanism in an already sensitized individual.
