A 46‐year‐old woman developed contact dermatitis on her face after application of an ointment containing 0.1% methylprednisolone and 0.35% fradiomycin. Her patch test result was positive with methylprednisolone, but not with fradiomycin. No cross‐reactions were observed after conducting patch tests with 17 different topical corticosteroids including prednisolone.
