Dermatological adverse events (AEs) are generally mild during therapy with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), and it is often unnecessary to adjust the BTKi dosage or discontinue treatment.

The first patient, who previously suffered from rashes, experienced rashes again along with fever when exposed to BTKi.
