Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids will be increased if
extensive body surface areas are

Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical
corticosteroid-induced HPA axis
suppression and Cushing’s syndrome than mature patients because of a
larger skin surface area to
body weight ratio. Use of topical corticosteroids in children should
be limited to the least amount
compatible with an effective therapeutic regimen. Chronic
corticosteroid therapy may interfere with
growth and development of children.
Patients should be advised to inform subsequent physicians of the
