Özet
Corticosteroids are systemically or locally used agents in treating many skin disorders. Besides their benefits within the correct indications, they may also increase many adverse reaction risks. Systemic absorption of topical glucocorticoids may rarely cause Iatrogenic Cushing Syndrome (ICS) in the geriatric population. On the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, ICS cases coexisting with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) have not been reported before in the geriatric population. Herein, we aimed to present a 67-year-old female patient who developed ICS and was accompanied by PG due to long-term use of topical clobetasol 17-propionate therapy.
