The skin is, however, one of the most frequently involved organs when adverse reaction to a drug occurs; and therefore, the diagnosis and management of adverse drug reactions relies a lot on the dermatologists. Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are perhaps the most common types of dermatoses that we dermatologists come across, especially in the hospital settings. Howsoever benign these actually are, by virtue of their usual diffuse involvement and visibility to the patient, these can be quite worrisome and life‐threatening, sometimes even more than the underlying disease for which the drug was prescribed.
