N2  - <p>We report an unusual adverse dermatologic effect resulting from pressurized salbutamol aerosol misuse.    A 13-year-old boy presented with a well-delineated purplish skin injury and blister on the anterior aspect of his left mid-forearm. History revealed that a schoolmate with known asthma actuated his own salbutamol canister (Ventoline; GlaxoSmithKline, Marly-le-Roi, France) against the patient’s skin about 10 times in short sequence. A blister developed within 2 days, broke at day 3 and healed over the ensuing 2 weeks. Five other schoolmates exposed to the same canister had similar burns. The boy with asthma was firmly asked to give up this “recreational” activity with the canister.</p>  <p>Language: en</p>
