It recurs at the same site of the skin or mucous membrane. In our case, 26-year-old female patient was admitted to our emergency department with distinctive and itchy skin lesions after ornidazole administration. Physical examination revealed erythematous, hyperpigmented anddesquamate, non-bullous and well-defined plaque lesions. She had similar medical history with ornidazole use.
