Fixed drug eruption is a type of drug reaction that recurs in the same area of the body each time the offending drug is encountered. Generalized fixed drug eruption is a clinical variant of fixed drug eruption that occurs after the intake of multiple medications, characterized by multiple multifocal lesions, and is a rare condition. This case report presents a rare case of a generalized fixed drug eruption following single drug intake (metronidazole).
