Although positive reactions to topical corticosteroids can occur in over 1% of a patch‐test population, systemic reactions to oral corticosteroids are uncommon. A 45‐year‐old woman who gave a clear history of the generalization of a cutaneous eruption following oral prednisolone was positive on patch testing using prednisolone eye drops.
