Description
Topical steroids have revolutionized the treatment of many common and distressing skin disorders over the last three decades; it was not until recently that their unwanted side effects became apparent, caused mainly by their indiscriminate use. The subsequent backlash has created confusion among non-dermatologists and the general public, and diseases which could be satisfactorily treated often remain unalleviated. This book is the only text available which explores these points and provides guide-lines for the correct use of topical steroids.
