Perilymphatic atrophy can be a complication of intralesional corticosteroid injections given for the treatment of conditions such as psoriasis, alopecia areata, and keloids, and intraarticular corticosteroid injections given in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It may become manifest as perilesional linear, depigmented, atrophic streaks, which are usually most prominent in patients with dark‐colored skin.
