Highlights

Summary
Topical corticosteroids are main therapeutic agents in various dermatological disorders (1). Inevitable and well-known local and systemic side effects develop following uncontrolled and unnecessary usage. Some patients can use topical corticosteroids by themselves for years due to a deficiency in warning them effectively against these side effects in a crowded outpatient clinical environment. Three cases of cutaneous ulcerations located in the skin of breasts that were caused presumably by prolonged use of potent topical corticosteroids were reported in this manuscript
