Abstract

ABSTRACT: A man developed acne keloidalis‐like lesions in the scalp during treatment with diphenylhydantoin and car‐bamazepine for epilepsy. These drugs were suspected to play a role in the pathogenesis of this skin disease in an unusual location, based on clinical evidence and on the in vitro test, mast cell degranulation (MCD).
