A 64-year-old woman presented with diffuse and numerous pigmented macules on her face and upper back. Histopathological examination of a skin punch biopsy of the rash showed a lichenoid dermatitis. The most likely offending was pravastatin. Cessation of pravastatin resulted in gradual falling of the pigmentation. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors have previously been reported to cause lichenoid drug eruptions.
