A first case of fixed drug eruption due to Tamsulosin

Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE) is a drug reaction involving the skin and less commonly the mucosal membranes. Tamsulosin is an alpha‐1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Dizziness and headache are among its most common side effects (Singapore Med J, 2018;59:336). Although cutaneous drug eruption has been reported with other alpha‐1 adrenergic receptor blockers.
