| Popis: | Recalcitrant erythema on the face of 21 adult patients with atopic dermatitis was histologically examined. All patients had been applying topical corticosteroids to the facial erythema for three years or more. The histopathology of the recalcitrant facial erythema was not homogeneous. Thus, the facial erythema was roughly classified into three categories: 1) erythema which mainly showed eczematous changes, 2) erythema which mainly showed steroid-induced rosacea-like changes, and 3) erythema which showed both eczematous changes and steroid-induced rosacea-like changes. The majority (75%) of recalcitrant facial erythema belonged to the third category. |
