不同效力的外用类固醇（TS）的引入使得炎症性皮肤病的治疗更加有效且耗时更少。然而，这些药物的实用性已成为一把双刃剑，滥用和误用的情况不断增加，导致严重的局部、全身和心理副作用。这些副作用在 TS 效力较高时更容易发生，并且发生在身体的特定部位，如面部和生殖器。文章回顾了TS的副作用，特别提到了儿童年龄组，还包括预防副作用的措施。
The introduction of topical steroids (TS) of varying potency have rendered the therapy of inflammatory cutaneous disorders more effective and less time-consuming. However the usefulness of these has become a double edged sword with constantly rising instances of abuse and misuse leading to serious local, systemic and psychological side effects. These side effects occur more with TS of higher potency and on particular areas of the body like face and genitalia. The article reviews the side effects of TS with special mention about peadiatric age group, also includes the measures for preventing the side effects.
