Eruptive Sebaceous Hyperplasia: A Rare Consequence of Systemic Corticosteroids.

This case brings awareness to the unique side effect of prednisone induced sebaceous hyperplasia, and demonstrates the importance of educating patients with Crohn's disease of this potential side effect when prescribing this medication. <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2018;17(1):118-120.</em></p>.
