Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. It is frequently associated with several side effects such as urticaria, anaphylaxis, angio-oedema and erythema multiforme. However, bullous eruptions induced by celecoxib have been rarely described previously. We report an original case of Celecoxib-induced bullous eruption confirmed by a positive patch test.
