Abstract

Corticosteroids are one of the most common drugs to be used and abused in the field of medicine and surgery. It can be used as topical, oral, intravenous, intra-articular and intralesional forms. Intralesional route of administration have the advantage of achieving high concentration of drug locally with minimal systemic absorption and side effects. However adverse effects like local atrophy, ulceration, infections etc. can occur. We report a case of 20-year-old male, who presented with linear hypopigmentation following intralesional steroids which is a rarer side effect and has been highlighted in this case report.
