Levothyroxine (LT4) is frequently used as thyroid hormone replacement to treat hypothyroidism. Adverse skin reactions are not common. Lichenoid drug eruption is a one such medication-related reaction. the lesion morphology and pathology mimic lichen planus. The current case describes a 47-year-old man who presented to us with a diffuse levothyroxine-induced lichenoid drug eruption. The Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability assessment score suggested this was likely an ADR to levothyroxine. The eruption resolved after discontinuation of the medication. We also reviewed the literature on levothyroxine-associated adverse events.
