Methotrexate-induced papular eruption explained
Methotrexate-induced papular eruption appears in patients being treated with methotrexate, such as those with rheumatic disease, presenting with erythematous indurated papules, usually located on the proximal extremities.[1]
It has been suggested that it may represent a cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis.[2]
