Abstract
Use of systemic and topical steroids is associated with many side effects. Cutaneous side effects of steroid include with many others susceptibility to cutaneous infections. One of such infections is Tinea corporis. Steroids form an important component of skin lightening and toning creams. Among females in our society the fair complexion is regarded as a plus for beauty, therefore many use these creams to make their skin fairer and, by their reckoning, more beautiful. We here present three cases of severe Tinea corporis resulting from the use of steroid-based body creams. Keywords: tenia copris, topical steroids, skin lightening, bleaching creams Sudanese Journal of Dermatology Vol. 5 (2) 2008: pp. 67-71
