Abstract

[Nepal is a developing country, and at present, there are no proper health insurance plans readily accessible to all citizens. Anyone who has health issues hesitates to visit a doctor. Rather than treating any problem at its initial stage and preventing complications, patients do the pre-doctor trial method. One of the major problems this tendency has led to is the increase in steroid abuse and steroid-induced dermatosis. So the underlying problem to be addressed to minimise this problem is ignorance and illiteracy. The pain is not just that the patient wastes their money on such preparation; the real pain is when these preparations increase the problem and add new ones too.]
