Reversal of steroid‐induced lipoatrophy with serial injections of isotonic saline in a child

Abstract

The problem of side‐effects of injectable corticosteroids has gradually become more acute with rampant and unlimited misuse of the drug, particularly by non‐dermatologists. Serial saline injections at the site of steroid‐induced lipoatrophy in a child served as a safe, relatively rapid, and cost‐effective solution.
