【 摘 要 】

Topical Corticosteroids (TCS) are the most commonly prescribed medications in Dermatology practice. They are considered safe and effective if used at the appropriate location and for the appropriate duration. Local side effects due to TCS are not uncommon. However, systemic side effects are rare. Herein, we present a patient who developed adrenal insufficiency secondary to the use of TCS.
