| Summary: | High potency or/and extended use of topical corticosteroids, particularly in children, may cause suppression of the hypothalamopituitary-adrenal axis.

Here, we report a case of iatrogenic Cushing′s syndrome in a 6-month-old male child whose parents have admitted to the hospital for overweight and skin fragility. |
