Topical glucocorticoid phobia is a concern or fear about using topical glucocorticoids, which is commonly found among patients with atopic dermatitis and their caregivers.[29] This phenomenon has been identified in more than 15 countries globally, including Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[30] The most prevalent causes for topical glucocorticoid phobia were found to be the concern regarding skin thinning as well as that regarding systemic absorption that could possibly affect growth and development.[30][29] This phenomenon may be associated with low adherence to topical glucocorticoid therapies.[31][30]
