There is currently an interest in evaluating the role that antidepressants may play in the treatment of primary cutaneous disorders. It has been proposed that antidepressants could have anti‐inflammatory effects, but the clinical relevance of this effect has not been adequately established. In the case of bupropion, evidence for its specific use in dermatologic conditions currently come only from a pilot study and a case report. While this level of evidence is unlikely to be sufficient to guide clinical practice, the authors of this brief update hope to sort the available information to serve as a guide and provide a structure for future research.
