Description
An eighty-three-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes treated his own eczema with a strong steroid cream, clobetasol, until the skin on both legs gave out. Jie Chen and four co-authors report the case in this 2026 paper. On admission the skin was paper-thin, peeling, dry, bruised, and swollen on both lower legs. The cream was stopped at once. Within two weeks the damage had largely resolved. The case warns against unsupervised use of potent steroids in fragile elderly patients.
