Poststeroid panniculitis: a case report.
Firm, red, subcutaneous plaques developed on the cheeks of a 19-month-old girl during a one-month period of rapid steroid withdrawal. The clinical features were most consistent with poststeroid panniculitis. This rare complication of steroid therapy should be differentiated from other causes of red cheeks in children.
