To the Editor: A man in his early 30s presented with an intermittent eczematous eruption over the shaft of his penis and scrotum (Figure 1A). His wife was initially concerned about his fidelity, but a careful history-taking revealed that the rash coincided with his wife's intermittent courses of azathioprine for Crohn's disease.
