Summary We describe an eruption with distinctive clinical and histological features which occurred in four patients during oxprenolol treatment and cleared following withdrawal of the drug. Certain similarities to the eruption occurring during treatment with the beta blocking drug practalol were noted. The histological appearances are compared with the changes seen in lichen planus, lupus erythematosus and the graft versus host reaction.
