Skin trauma in patients receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy

D J David. Br Med J. .

Abstract

Surprisingly extensive skin damage may result from trivial accidents in patients treated with systemic corticosteroids. In one year 21 such patients were admitted to a plastic surgical unit. Skin necrosis and delayed healing are problems in these patients, and skin grafting may be necessary.
