Methotrexate-induced papular eruption

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia


Methotrexate-induced papular eruption appears in patients being treated with methotrexate, such as those with rheumatic disease, presenting with erythematous indurated papules, usually located on the proximal extremities.[1]

It has been suggested that it may represent a cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis.[2]
