Abstract
Flush reactions can be incited by various factors including inherent mutation, drugs, and diseases. A medication that is commonly used in dermatology but less associated with alcohol-induced facial flushing is topical tacrolimus. We present the case of a 44-year-old man experiencing this phenomenon on a distant, non-application site and a review of cases published in the literature.
