Abstract

[The use of topical steroids in the Middle East is quite common as the regulations of dispensing to patients are lax. Even though the uses of these medications are limited in the pediatric population in fear of their possible side effects, their use in adults is mainly in the treatment of pigmentary disorders. Given that such conditions are common, abuse is highly possible. The occurrence of adverse events, such as atrophy, is common in this population group.]
