Abstract:
A 43-year-old male was diagnosed with vitiligo and had been treated with topical nitrogen mustard at the age of 13. Following two years of treatment, eruptive cherry angiomas developed and presented as widely distributed red papules throughout his trunk and proximal limbs. Ceasing the use of nitrogen mustard slowed the emergence of lesions. This case highlights the potential adverse effects associated with nitrogen mustard treatment in individuals with susceptibility, as it may lead to the onset of eruptive cherry angiomas.
