Abstract
Erythema multiforme major (EMM) is a severe hypersensitivity skin reaction that is potentially life threatening. We present a case report of a gentleman who presented with EMM induced by Lysergic acid diethylamide. The case aims to raise awareness and highlights the importance of taking a comprehensive drug history including recreational drug use. This is especially important in the face of rising recreational drug usage rates.
