Abstract
Topically applied corticosteroids are commonly prescribed medications for the treatment of various dermatology-related conditions. However, their misuse and abuse have become a growing concern. This study aims to determine the frequency of topically applied corticosteroid abuse among outpatients with dermatology-related conditions. A cross-sectional study design was employed, and data were collected from a sample of outpatients attending dermatology clinics. The participants were assessed for the presence of corticosteroid abuse based on clinical presentation, medical history, and examination findings. The frequency of abuse was determined, and factors associated with abuse were analyzed using statistical methods. The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of corticosteroid abuse and provide insights for improving prescribing practices and patient education.
