Metronidazole is a commonly used drug due to wide prevalence of amoebiasis in India but fixed drug eruption due to it, is rare. Naik and Singh in 1977 reported fixed drug eruption due to metronidazole on the back of a patient who was taking this drug very frequently. In our case FDE appeared on penis, which is a common site and was confirmed by provocation test. Special feature was provocation only by full dose of the drug.
