Abstract
Panniculitis in children may be seen in a number of systemic infections, vasculitic disorders and following ingestion of medications. [1] The occurrence of nodular panniculitis following withdrawal of therapy with corticosteroids is relatively rare, with 20 cases described in medical literature. [2],[3] We report two patients who showed panniculitis following reduction of prednisolone dosage to highlight this side effect of corticosteroid withdrawal.
