Abstract
Topical nitroglycerin has been previously described as an adjunctive therapy to increase perfusion to areas of purpura affected in purpura fulminans. We report a case of purpura fulminans in which topical nitroglycerin was found to provide analgesia after its application to purpuric lesions. The broader role for the use of topical nitroglycerin in pain management deserves further study and evaluation.
