Drug rash on the hand of a 70 year old female patient. This is the body's reaction to a specific medication. The type of rash that occurs depends on the medicine causing it. In this case, the rash was triggered by palbociclib, which is a type of targeted cancer drug. The condition usually clears up by discontinuing the medication that is causing the reaction. Other treatments may include the use of corticosteroids and antihistamines.
