Abstract
Adrenal insufficiency is a disease caused by the deficit in production and/or secretion of glucocorticoids. The aetiology of Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) can be classified into primary and secondary, and it should be taken that the incidence and prevalence of the secondary formare much higher than the primary form.One of the main causes of AI is due to prescription of exogenous steroids. It can be taken orally, which is more common, or topically. The latter is more uncommon but it should not be a a reason for ruling it out. We have to be aware when giving a topical treatment and to monitor the frequency our patients ask for the prescription.
