Gianotti–Crosti syndrome is self‐limited, characterized by papular eruption with a symmetrical distribution on the limbs and face of children, and a dermatosis of unknown etiology. However, there are many suggested factors such as a number of diseases (viral or bacterial) and vaccination. We report a case of Gianotti‐Crosti syndrome that had developed 3 weeks after the hepatitis B virus vaccination.
