    Background:

    • Subcutaneous injections of heparin are common for anticoagulation.
    • Skin reactions are a potential adverse effect of drug administration.

    Observation:

    • A case of heparin-induced skin reaction at subcutaneous injection sites is presented.
    • This reaction manifests locally at the point of administration.

    Findings:

    • The reported case adds to the 15 previously documented instances of this complication.
    • Clinical details from prior cases are summarized, highlighting common features.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of heparin-induced skin reactions is essential for appropriate patient management.
    • Understanding this adverse event can prevent misdiagnosis and ensure timely intervention.
