Steroid phobia is an increasing phenomenon that affects treatment adherence. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of steroid phobia among adolescents with eczema and the caregivers of children and adolescents with eczema by using questionnaires and TOPICOP© scale. The prevalence of steroid phobia is approximately 12% and 37% in the adolescent and caregiver groups, respectively. Caregivers who obtained information about topical corticosteroid (TCS) from dermatologists and whose children had fewer number of flares, demonstrated less concern about using TCS.
