Summary:Fixed drug eruption is one of the possible clinical presentations of cutaneous reactions to drugs; however, it is not very common in children. Characteristically, it is always localized a the same sites, a fact that can help to establish the diagnosis, but this circumstance is of no help for the early diagnosis.
