Bromoderma – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1992415982

Bromoderma describes a particular cutaneous reaction to bromides, which were historically used therapeutically as sedatives and anticonvulsants. The eruption is characterised by vegetating acneform nodules and plaques on the face or limbs. Because bromides are only very slowly excreted the eruption may not appear until several weeks after exposure.
