Cutaneous side-effects of varenicline, a drug used to support smoking cessation, are relatively rare. Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is one of the most frequently reported adverse skin reactions to this drug (1–3). However, there are no previously published cases with varenicline-induced AGEP or other skin conditions and a positive patch test reaction (1–5). We herein present 2 patients with varenicline-induced AGEP, confirmed by patch testing in 1 of them.
