Abstract:
In dermatological practice, allergy to topical corticosteroids used to treat eczema is a recognized and common event. The typical presentation is of an eczema which fails to improve or deteriorates with treatment. Topical corticosteroids are also used to treat mucosal disease. This study assesses allergy to inhaled corticosteroids in asthmatics. In the patient group selected, there was no evidence of relevant corticosteroid allergy.
