Cushing Syndrome Induced by Topical Corticosteroids for the Treatment of Lichen Sclerosus - 04/01/19
Abstract |
Background |
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory dermatological condition with a predilection for the anogenital area.
Case |
We describe a case of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome from the administration of high-potency topical steroids for vulvar lichen sclerosus in a 6-year-old girl. Her symptoms resolved after the cessation of topical steroid treatment.
Summary and Conclusion |
This case brings attention to iatrogenic Cushing syndrome as a potential complication when using high-potency topical corticosteroids in the anogenital region.
