Abstract
Steroid rosacea is a facial dermatitis clinically resembling acne rosacea. Fluorinated topical steroids have been implicated as the cause or precipitating factor in previous case reports mainly involving an adult population. Four cases of pediatric acne rosacea associated with the use of topical fluorinated glucocorticosteroids are described. The process worsened during the two weeks following steroid cessation. We recommend that fluorinated glucocorticosteroids should not be used on the face of infants and children.
