Abstract:
Intralesional corticosteroid administration is a commonly used therapeutic modality in dermatology. Perilesional streaky depigmentation and/or atrophy is a distinct, though rare adverse effect resulting from lymphatic uptake of corticosteroid crystals. The pathogenesis and its self-limiting clinical course are discussed.
