Abstract
Topical steroid withdrawal syndrome (TSW) is a debated condition marked by burning erythema, severe itching, and dry skin following the discontinuation of topical corticosteroids (TCS). This study reviewed reported pediatric TSW cases. With a total of 21 cases reported (inconsistent data provided), 60% (6/10) used TCS on the face; 69% (9/13) were associated with an escalation in potency of TCS and 75% (3/4) were the erythematoedematous variant. Overall, data on TSW in children is lacking and standardized diagnostic criteria are needed.
