With the introduction of topical corticosteroids, a milestone has been achieved in dermatologic therapy; owing to its potent anti-inflammatory and ant proliferative effects, it became possible to treat some hitherto resistant dermatoses. But this magic drug can cause enough mischief if used inappropriately. Children are more susceptible to the systemic adverse effects because of enhanced percutaneous absorption through their tender skin. So, systemic side effects should be kept in mind while prescribing this therapeutically valuable topical medicament.
随着外用皮质类固醇的引入，皮肤病治疗领域取得了一个里程碑式的进展；由于其强大的抗炎和抗增殖作用，使得治疗一些此前难治的皮肤病成为可能。但如果使用不当，这种神奇的药物也会引发诸多问题。由于儿童娇嫩的皮肤经皮吸收增强，他们更容易受到全身不良反应的影响。因此，在开具这种具有治疗价值的外用药物时，应牢记全身副作用。
