A patient with malignant lymphoma repeatedly developed transient rosacea‐like dermatitis several days after each interruption of continuous oral prednisone intake. We thought that the eruption was provoked by withdrawal of orally administered steroid, and thus we diagnosed the patient as having steroid‐withdrawal rosacea‐like dermatitis, one manifestation of steroid‐withdrawal syndrome.
