Drug-Induced Acneiform Eruptions

چکیده
Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin disease that develops as a result of inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit and its clinical course is accompanied by comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules. A different group of disease, which is clinically similar to acne vulgaris but with a different etiopathogenesis, is called “acneiform eruptions.” In clinical practice, acneiform eruptions are generally the answer of the question “What is it if it is not an acne?” Although there are many subgroups of acneiform eruptions, drugs are common cause of acneiform eruptions, and this clinical picture is called “drug-induced acneiform eruptions.” There are many drugs related to drug-induced acneiform eruptions. Discontinuation of the responsible drug is generally sufficient in treatment.

Acneiform dermatoses are follicular eruptions. The initial lesion is inflammatory, usually a papule or pustule. Comedones are later secondary lesions, a sequel to encapsulation and healing of the primary abscess. The earliest histological event is spongiosis, followed by a break in the follicular epithelium. The spilled follicular contents provokes a nonspecific lymphocytic and neutrophilic inf...

متن کاملErlotinib-induced Adverse Skin Reactions
Erlotinib is low molecular-weight quinazolin derivatives which selectively inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) tyrosine kinase activity of the intracellular domain, block autophosphorylation and the subsequent signaling cascades. EGF-R is expressed on basal keratinocytes, sebocytes, the outer root sheath of hairs, and endothelial cells in the skin, and plays important roles in ...
