Presentation

Perioral, diffuse and centrofacial are the main types described for steroid dermatitis resembling rosacea in literature. [1],[2] This study showed diffuse variety as the most common clinical presentation and even malar pattern presentation was also commonly [ijdvl.com]

The aim of the present study is to document the different clinical presentations of SDRR and to evaluate the purpose behind misusing TCS on the face. 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The typical presentation is inflammatory acne lesions consisting of pustules, papules, and cysts. The patient often admits to the daily use of a topical steroid, often being under the advisement of a physician. [en.wikipedia.org]
