Key Clinical Message Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis ( AGEP ) is a self‐limited drug reaction. Hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) is an uncommon cause of AGEP with a prolonged recovery course; Thus, the physicians should take the possibility of this rare but severe event in their minds and try to diagnose correctly and better management.
