Statins and “Chameleon-Like” Cutaneous Eruptions: Simvastatin-Induced Acral Cutaneous Vesiculobullous and Pustular Eruption in a 70-Year-Old Man

Abstract

Acral cutaneous vesiculobullous eruption is an uncommon adverse drug eruption due to simvastatin, one of many different patterns possible. A high level of suspicion for an unexplained cutaneous eruption in an older individual on statins is important to identification of the disorder and discontinuation of the offending medication.
