Bromoderma is a skin condition characterized by an eruption of

Ruby Red Squirt) containing brominated vegetable oil.[2]

Signs and symptoms

The disease's symptoms can range from a mild

pustules to more severe conditions like panniculitis, ulcers, and vegetative nodules, also referred to as tuberous or vegetating bromoderma. Lesions usually affect the lower limbs, scalp, and face.[3][4]

Causes

One could characterize bromoderma as a kind of delayed hypersensitivity reaction, even though its pathogenesis is still unknown.[5] Lesions can develop as soon as eight days after the medicine is first administered, but they typically do so after a prolonged period of use. High sebaceous gland concentrations on the skin are typically the site of lesions.[6]

Diagnosis

Skin lesions, a patient's history of using bromide, and the healing of lesions following drug withdrawal can all be used to make a diagnosis.[7]
