Abstract

Vitamin K₁ dermatitis is a cutaneous adverse reaction to vitamin K₁, and this malady presents as an erythematous eczematoid patch or pseudoscleroderma. At first, liver disease was thought to be related to vitamin K₁ dermatitis. However, it is no longer considered as being related to liver disease due to the increasing case reports of patients with vitamin K₁ dermatitis and who are without liver disease. Type IV hypersensitivity reaction was suspected to be the cause of this reaction. This disease can be easily ignored because of its low incidence. We hereby report on a case of vitamin K₁ dermatitis that was confirmed by a skin test.
