Li Y, et al. - Experts gauged the knowledge of and phobias about topical corticosteroids in parents of infants with eczema as these have shown to affect the efficacy of eczema treatment. Data demonstrated excessive concerns of most parents of infants with eczema about topical corticosteroids leading to inadequate treatment of atopic dermatitis. Despite having received a prescription, 25% percent of parents refused a prescription of steroid ointment, and 32.3% did not use the steroid ointment on their children. Parents' understanding of steroid treatment for eczema ought to be reinforced by the physicians in clinical practice and should guide rational use of topical steroids for infantile eczema.
