I report two patients who developed a severe necrotising inflammatory skin reaction with ulceration and hemorrhagic crusting during the first cycle of chemotherapy with 1% 5-Fluorouracil eye drops for Ocular surface squamous neoplasia. The skin reaction subsided on stoppage of the drops and the use of a steroid ointment. 5 fluorouracil therapy was terminated and the patients were shifted to interferon therapy subsequently.
