Iododerma is caused by iodides, with the most common sources of exposure being oral and intravenous contrast materials used to treat thyroid disease.[1][2] It typically presents with an acneiform eruption with numerous acutely inflamed follicular pustules, each surrounded by a ring of redness.[2] It is a type of halogenoderma.[1]
