dc.description.abstractMedications are a rare and often ignored cause of limb ulcers. It is presumed that around 1.1% of chronic leg ulcers can be caused by drugs. Limb ulcers can be related to the pharmacological action of drugs or can be the manifestation of drug induced vasculitis or immunological alterations. Early suspicion of drug involvement in the induction of ulcers can result in timely intervention and can prevent considerable morbidity and mortality. Cutaneous ulcers can be observed in complicated cases of drug related immunological conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). The aim of the present chapter is to provide a comprehensive review on common drugs implicated in limb ulcers, the possible mechanisms of ulcer development, the phenotypic patterns of drug induced extremity ulcers, their management, and outcomes. � The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
