A woman in her 30s presented to the dermatology clinic with widespread, pruritic, red papules and plaques involving the ears, trunk and extremities. The rash developed a few days after receiving her second injection of secukinumab, which was initiated for recalcitrant Hurley stage III hidradenitis suppurativa.

In this report, we describe the clinical course, histopathological correlation and treatment of this rarely documented reaction.
