Summary
A 71-year-old man with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia was admitted for unstable angina. He subsequently underwent coronary angiography. Approximately 2 hours after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), he reported a burning and itching sensation on his buttocks. The patient had no history of atopy or drug hypersensitivity. Physical examination revealed a bilateral erythematous, warm, tender, blistering rash localized to his buttocks [Figure 1A].
