Abstract:
Glucocorticosteroids are anti-inflammatory drugs, whose prolonged administration at high doses induces various adverse effects, such as the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and iatrogenic Cushing syndrome. Cutaneous side effects, such as skin atrophy, striae distensae, telangiectasia, acneiform eruption, purpura, rosacea-like eruption can be the result of both systemic and topical administration. The aim of this article is to emphasize the clinical aspects of cutaneous adverse effects induced by a prolonged administration of glucocorticosteroids.
