Abstract
Pemphigus and pemphigus‐like reactions can be triggered by a variety of medications including topical therapies, such as imiquimod. While the association between imiquimod and pemphigus‐like reactions has been reported in adults, this is the first report of a generalized reaction beyond the site of imiquimod application in a child. The mechanism by which this occurs may be through a unique pathway, separate from the classic antibody‐mediated pathway. Our patient had a full recovery without recurrence after cessation of the inciting drug.
