    Supersaturated potassium iodide (SSKI) drops can cause skin lesions like nodules and ulcers in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Lesions resolved after SSKI treatment stopped, highlighting potential adverse effects of iodide therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Endocrinology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management often involves various therapeutic agents.
    • Iodides are sometimes used for thyroid protection during medical imaging procedures.
    • Phlebothrombosis detection can involve specific diagnostic tests requiring thyroid shielding.

    Observation:

    • A patient with rheumatoid arthritis developed nodular and ulcerative skin lesions.
    • These dermatological manifestations appeared shortly after the administration of supersaturated potassium iodide (SSKI) drops.
    • The SSKI was administered for thyroid protection during an iodide fibrinogen uptake test.

    Findings:

    • Discontinuation of supersaturated potassium iodide (SSKI) treatment led to the regression of all observed skin lesions.

  • This case adds to previous reports of iododerma (skin reactions to iodine) occurring even with low-dose iodide exposure.
  • The patient's rheumatoid arthritis remained a concurrent condition throughout the observation period.

    • Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should consider the risk of iododerma when prescribing or administering iodides, even for short durations.
    • Awareness of potential adverse dermatological reactions is crucial for patient safety during iodide therapy.
    • This finding is particularly relevant for potential mass iodide prophylaxis scenarios following nuclear events, where widespread iodide administration may occur.
