ABSTRACT
Erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) is a rare cutaneous disorder in which patients develop gray or blue-brown macules or patches on their bodies.1 This condition does not appear to have a gender or age predilection. The diagnosis of EDP is essentially clinical, with histopathology findings being nonspecific. To date, treatment for EDP varies. The use of several therapies, including dapsone, clofazimine, retinoid A, tacrolimus, and ultraviolet light have been reported but with minimal effectiveness.5 We report a case of EDP occurring in a patient following the COVID-19 vaccine that was given topical ruxolitinib with success in treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of topical ruxolitinib in treatment of EDP with successful management. J Drugs Dermatol. 2022;22(3): doi:10.36849/JDD.7156.
