    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Topical corticosteroids are widely used for inflammatory skin conditions.
    • Adverse reactions, including contact dermatitis, can occur infrequently.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the occurrence of contact dermatitis to topical corticosteroids.
    • To recommend diagnostic approaches for suspected cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical literature on topical corticosteroid adverse reactions.
    • Clinical recommendations based on diagnostic challenges.

    Main Results:

    • Contact dermatitis to topical steroids is an uncommon but recognized phenomenon.
    • Patch testing is a valuable diagnostic tool.

    Conclusions:

    • Patients with persistent dermatoses poorly responsive to topical steroids may have contact dermatitis.
    • Patch testing should be considered in such cases for accurate diagnosis and management.
