Background and Design: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors may cause different adverse cutaneous reactions including acneiform (pustular, papulopustular) eruption. Rarely, other specific targeted cancer therapy agents may cause similar pustular eruptions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adverse skin reactions, mainly acneiform eruptions caused by these chemotherapeutic agents.
