Abstract

This article reports a case of erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) in a 38-year-old male following influenza vaccination. The patient developed eruptions around the vaccination site, which later spread to the entire body. EDP is a rare skin condition characterized by uniform dark brown-grey pigmentation. The article discusses the difficulty in managing EDP and mentions that isotretinoin has shown promise as a treatment option. This is the first reported case of EDP triggered by the influenza vaccine, and the diagnosis was confirmed through clinical presentation and histopathology. [Extracted from the article]
