The Oriental cream Piyan Ping 999 has been used in the Netherlands as an unlicensed product. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of dexamethasone and dexamethasone-21-acetate in pharmacologically relevant concentrations. It was prescribed for 2 children; the 3-year-old girl had meanwhile developed bruises and small, poorly healing wounds.
