We report a 48‐year‐old male with typical lichen myxedematosus, liver dysfunction, and diabetes mellitus. His skin eruptions were clearly exacerbated after accidental over‐irradiation by UVB. These findings were clinically and histologically confirmed. The pathogenesis is still unknown, but we consider it to be due to Koebner phenomenon.
