      Rezky Darmawan Hatta, Kristo A. Nababan
Abstract: Corticosteroids are commonly used in the medical specialty of dermatology because of their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Skin hypersensitivity reactions have also been reported with systemically administered corticosteroids. Most of these skin reactions are widespread at presentation, including generalized dermatitis and urticarial reactions. We presented a case of a 25-year-old woman with shortness of breath accompanied by complaints of red bumps on the neck, trunk, back, stomach, hands and feet since 1 day ago. On examination of the dermatological status, it was found in the anterior thoracic region, posterior thoracic region, abdominal region, superior extremity region, and inferior extremity region.
