Abstract
Topical corticosteroids are first-line treatment for many dermatoses, and are generally considered safe and effective. However, topical steroid withdrawal syndrome can result from use of topical corticosteroids, and this condition is not well-known among physicians. This article reports a mother and son whose presentations of topical steroid withdrawal syndrome following the discontinuation of prolonged, high-potency topical corticosteroid use were nearly identical. This report adds to the growing body of evidence that topical steroid withdrawal syndrome is its own entity, rather than an exacerbation of the underlying dermatosis, and adds to the few pediatric reports of topical steroid withdrawal syndrome. Management for both patients involved topical corticosteroid discontinuation; however, it took approximately 2 years before the majority of their topical steroid withdrawal syndrome manifestations resolved. Increased awareness surrounding this condition is essential to facilitate topical steroid withdrawal syndrome prevention and diagnosis and to decrease topical corticosteroid phobia and increase patient-physician trust.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
