Comprising 1.4% of presenting complaints to emergency departments, most skin complaints are relatively benign; however, some conditions can be quite severe. Prompt diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary morbidity and mortality.\n\n\nObjectives: To review drug-induced vasculitis.\n\n\nCase Report: We present the case of a 43-year-old female with a chief complaint of bruising to her ear, arm, and leg.
