ABSTRACT
A case of Cushing's syndrome is described in a woman who self-treated psoriasis with a variety of potent tropical glucocorticoids over 15 years. She was successfully weaned off corticosteroids and was treated with alternative anti-psoriatic drugs. The disappearance, nine months later, of most features of Cushing"s syndrome, and the normal supression of cortisol in response to dexamethasone, excluded endogenous hypercorticolism. The apparent widespread availability across the counter of potent corticosteriods is a cause of concern.
