Swelling and papulopustules in steroid induced rosacea (SR-patient4)
Keywords: Bilateral erythema, Cheek, Erythematous nodules, Face, Facial oedema, Female
Steroid rosacea is the name given to a rosacea-like condition on the mid-face caused by potent topical steroids or their withdrawal. It is a variant of perioificial dermatitis (also known as perioral dermatitis) or may be the same condition (note that periorificial dermatitis may occur in the absence of topical steroid). It is considered distinct from steroid acne, which is caused by oral corticosteroids.
