In conclusion, this study reveals that in Saudi Arabia, dermatologists were the most comfortable prescribing topical corticosteroids, with pediatricians being the most hesitant. The findings emphasize the importance of education in addressing corticophobia among healthcare professionals, which could improve treatment adherence and patient outcomes. Further research and targeted educational interventions are necessary to enhance understanding and confidence in prescribing topical corticosteroids among healthcare professionals.
