Abstract
Corticosteroids possess a multitude of pharmacological actions that modify a large number of biological processes involved in inflammation and immune response, and their valuable role in the management of a plethora of dermatoses is now well-established. [...]hailed as a panacea for all skin diseases, the ability of topical steroids to provide dramatic relief from symptoms has led to rampant misuse of these agents by both physicians and patients, resulting in an ever-increasing incidence of adverse effects. On the flip side, media and word of mouth propaganda regarding adverse effects of steroid therapy have led to a totally undesirable phenomenon of steroid phobia and aversion among patients and physicians.
