Background:
Cutaneous adverse effects of Teriflunomide have been rarely reported.
Objective And Methods:
We report a relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patient that developed palmar pustular psoriasis within one month of teriflunomide initiation.
Results:
Our patient required discontinuation of teriflunomide due to frequent recurrence of pustules with continuous need of local steroid treatment and resolved completely after teriflunomide discontinuation.
Conclusion:
Pustular psoriasis can be triggered by medications but has not been previously reported in association with teriflunomide treatment, to the best of our knowledge.
