Eruptions can occur frequently with a certain drug (for example, with phenytoin [8]), or be very rare (for example, Sweet's syndrome following the administration of colony-stimulating factors [9]).

A rare and severe variation of fixed drug eruption, generalized bullous fixed drug eruption involves blisters and erosions involving at least 10% of the body's surface area, affecting three of the six anatomic sites: the head and neck, the anterior and posterior trunk, the upper and lower extremities, and the genitalia.
