neutral  casper (X): How do you know it's steroids ? // You're asking me ("Is that the case?"). I don't know.

  -> Thank you :-): Not 100% sure, but it is likely... steroids, I believe, are commonly used for cases like this. Is that the case? ..

Explanation:
The text is about *systemic* use of steroids in *local* (!) treatment failure (in this case: dexamethasone).

Example sentence(s):
  • Systemic treatment is also recommended in patients with metastatic spread and in cutaneous lesions unresponsive to local treatment.
  • Particularly in cases of hand dermatitis not responding to local treatment, one must consider medicament allergy...

agree  Gudrun Maydorn (X): yes, not responding to local treatment (e.g. eye drops, ointment etc)

  -> Thank you, Nicola
agree  Lirka: 'refractory', as suggested by :-) is a really elegant solution, often used in journal articles.

  -> Thank you, lirka. "Refractory to treatment" is good in the context of something like "steroid refractory disease". This is not the context, yet- It yields just 1 Medline hit and there is no such term as "eye-drop refractory iridocyclitis" or similar.
