Tumor necrosis factor‐alpha inhibitor therapy for inflammatory bowel disease may be associated with paradoxical cutaneous adverse events, most commonly psoriasiform eruptions. We present the case of a pediatric female patient with Crohn's disease who developed multiple concurrent cutaneous eruptions while on infliximab treatment, including morphea, psoriasiform dermatitis, and genital lichen sclerosus. Although refractory to skin‐directed treatments, all three conditions resolved upon discontinuation of infliximab, supporting their development as a paradoxical reaction to infliximab therapy.
