Halogenated steroids

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

Halogenated steroids, particularly fluorinated steroids, will often induce inflammation of the skin of the scrotum, vulvae, as well as the face. Halogenated steroids should never be used, with rare exception, on these areas, and then for the briefest period of time possible.
