Mum’s horror as baby's face balloons and grows hair after using steroid cream

mirror.co.uk:

A baby's face ballooned and started growing hair after having a steroid cream applied to his skin. The youngster, who was reportedly suffering from dry skin, was given the cream by his parents.

But they soon realised something was wrong as he shot up in size and his face started growing hair, including on his forehead.

The baby was hospitalised after two months of taking the cream. Medics said they were baffled after being told by the parents that the only food he was receiving was his mother's breast milk, which was tested and found to be normal.

They then asked the parents to reduce the food intake, but a month later the problem was even worse. The child was transferred to a specialist hospital where a couple of similar cases had emerged.
