Diagnosis is based on a rash occurring within weeks of stopping long-term topical<unk> s. Specific signs include ‘headlight sign’ (redness of the lower part of the face but not the nose or the area around the mouth); ‘red sleeve’ (a rebound eruption stopping abruptly at the lower arms and hands); and ‘elephant wrinkles’ (reduced skin elasticity). Differentiating this condition from the skin condition that the<unk> s were originally used to treat can be difficult. Red, burning skin may be misdiagnosed.
