- Title
Topical corticosteroids in the era of new topical therapies: Balancing efficacy and safety for long‐term use.
- Authors
Egeberg, Alexander; Thyssen, Jacob P.
- Abstract
The article discusses the use of topical corticosteroids (TCS) in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. While TCS have been widely used and proven effective, prolonged use or application in areas with high absorption rates can lead to adverse effects such as striae formation, adrenal suppression, and Cushing syndrome. Recent studies have also associated TCS use with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures, particularly in women and younger individuals. The article emphasizes the need to reassess the position of TCS in treatment guidelines and consider alternative non-steroidal therapies with minimal systemic absorption.
