%X Background: Misuse of topical corticosteroids (TCs) is a rampant problem in India owing to the easy availability of topical corticosteroids as over the counter preparations. TCs are being widely misused for a wide variety of skin ailments ranging from their use as skin whitening creams to infections like dermatophytoses, acne and even as daily use moisturizing creams. This misuse of TCs can lead to a large number of cutaneous and systemic adverse effects.
