Symmetrical drug related intertriginous and flexural exanthema is a cutaneous drug eruption that is characterized by exanthema limited to creases, buttocks and the upper inner thighs. It represents a reaction to systemic exposure to a drug, without previous sensitization. We present the case of a woman, previously healthy, who consulted due to this drug reaction after being injected with piroxicam, who was successfully treated with antihistamines, topical and systemic corticosteroids.
