Symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE) or baboon syndrome is an uncommon cutaneous drug eruption that occurs after the systemic administration of drug-related allergens. It is characterized by well-delimited erythema in the gluteal and perianal regions and involvement of other intertriginous /flexural areas, without other systemic signs or symptoms. We present a case of a 73-year-old man who developed erythematous maculopapular exanthema in flexural areas, after using a herbal medication called Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii), which has not been previously reported to cause SDRIFE.
