“…Iodide is found in seaweed, salt, amiodarone, radiocontrast media, and potassium iodide, and rarely as topical iodide use [ 3 , 5 ]. Iododerma usually appears following the systemic use of potassium iodides, such as in the case of asthma, Graves’ disease, and bronchitis [ 1 ]. Bromide is found in some drugs such as bromocriptine, analgesics, and hypnotics [ 6 ].…”

Halogenoderma (HD) is an uncommon dermatosis that develops following exposure to halogens such as iodide and bromide, referred to as iododerma and bromoderma, respectively. Here, we report the case of a 40-year-old male who presented with a three-week history of slightly itchy progressive skin lesions associated with low-grade fever and malaise. The patient had a history of using food supplements containing iodide and bromide for four months prior to the appearance of skin rashes. Skin examination revealed multiple crusted papules and nodules scattered on his face, neck, and trunk. A skin biopsy was taken from the lesions. The epidermis showed crustation, exocytosis of neutrophils, and multiple intraepidermal abscesses. The dermis showed heavy cellular infiltrates composed mainly of neutrophils. The skin lesions disappeared completely after the cessation of food supplements, along with the use of topical corticosteroids for a few weeks.
