Fixed drug reactions are common and so named because they recur at the same site with each exposure to a particular medication. [1] Medications inducing fixed drug eruptions are usually those taken intermittently.
A fixed drug eruption is the term for a drug eruption that occurs in the same skin area every time the person is exposed to the drug.
