Abstract

Exfoliative dermatitis is characterized by a universal or very extensive obstinate scaling and itching erythroderma. Although the clinical picture is similar in most patients, there are many etiologic factors in exfoliative dermatitis. We report a case of exfoliative dermatitis developed in a 22-year-old male patient who had been taking oral minocycline (100 mg twice daily) for 5 weeks for acne.
