Prognosis
About nine studies conclude that reactions to fixed drug eruption vary
greatly from 0% to 8% due to antibiotic drugs. Outpatients who
experience fixed drug eruption are estimated to occur in children
around 2.5% to 12%
Clinical features of fixed drug eruption usually appear as solitary,
erythematous, with bright red or black macules that can evolve into
edematous plaques, fixed drug eruption is most common in the
perianal region although it can occur anywhere on the surface of the
skin.
Fixed drug eruption will be resolved within a few weeks after stopping
or withdrawing the drug. Fixed drug eruption recurs within a few
hours after the consumption of drugs that will cause fixed drug
eruption.
