Histological and Immunohistological Findings Using Anti-Cortisol Antibody in Atopic Dermatitis with Topical Steroid Addiction

Introduction Though topical steroid addiction (TSA) in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) has been recently discussed as a clinical problem, there are very few studies about its mechanism. The purpose of this study was to elucidate histological and immunohistological characteristics of TSA using anti-cortisol antibody.
