<unk> , also known as red burning skin and<unk>  dermatitis, has been reported in people who apply topical<unk> s for 2 weeks or longer and then discontinue use. Symptoms affect the skin and include redness, a burning sensation, and itchiness, which may then be followed by peeling. This condition generally requires the daily application of a topical<unk>  for more than 2 weeks but sometimes can occur with even less<unk>  use. It appears to be a specific adverse effect of topical corticosteroid use. People with atopic dermatitis are most at risk. Treatment involves discontinuing the use of topical<unk> s, either gradually or suddenly. Counselling and cold compresses may also help. The condition is common, with thousands of people congregating in online communities to support one another throughout the healing process. Many cases have been reported in both adults and children. It was first described in 1979.
