If you’ve had chronic skin problems, I’ll bet you’ve been prescribed topical steroids. Sure, they work quickly, but what are the topical steroid skin and body side effects?
To answer that question, we need to talk about glucocorticoids – a category that topical steroids fall into.
Aside from concerns about topical steroid withdrawal, glucocorticoids don’t actually cure inflammatory or immune conditions (like eczema, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.). Let’s dive into a nuanced conversation about glucocorticoids, and the topical steroid skin and body side effects!
My guest today is Dr. Luis Franco. He is a Tenure-Track Investigator at the National Institute of Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). He was born in Colombia and grew up between Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States. He attended medical school in Colombia before returning to the United States, initially as a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University. Dr. Franco attended Baylor College of Medicine for specialty training in internal medicine and medical genetics. In 2014, he moved to the National Institute of Health (NIH).
