A 34-year-old male diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma on ABVD chemotherapy (it includes the drugs doxorubicin hydrochloride [adriamycin], bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, and dacarbazine) presented with pruritic skin lesions – which changed color from reddish to dark hyperpigmented ones over 10 days – not responding to topical steroids or antihistamines [Figure 1]. The second course presented with worse reactions, which got better after cold packing over the rashes before chemotherapy.
