Abstract

Topical and inhaled corticoids are considered to be safe even though some reports point out the risks, especially in children. We describe 2 adults in whom the chronic use of topical steroids led to Cushing syndrome. Patients treated with potent topical corticoids should be informed about the possibility of developing Cushing syndrome. Adrenal reserve should be monitored in those patients treated with glucocorticoids for long periods, regardless of the administration route.
