Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is increasingly used for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although skin reactions to IVIg therapy are usually minor, rare, and not life‐threatening, dermatologists need to recognize the nature of these adverse reactions. We describe a 33‐year‐old man suffering from demyelinating polyneuropathy who developed dyshidrotic eczema on the palms and flaky grayish‐white scales on an erythematous base on his face after the administration of IVIg.
