Abstract
In a within subject comparison, the efficacy and the tolerability of topical treatment with triamcinolone acetonide under a hydrocolloid dressing were compared with triamcinolone acetonide monotherapy, monotherapy with hydrocolloid dressing and triamcinolone acetonide under plastic occlusion. The clinical efficacy of hydrocolloid dressing as a monotherapy and the pronounced clinical efficacy of this occlusive in combination with triamcinolone acetonide were confirmed. Comparing the hydrocolloid dressing (Duoderm E) and the plastic semi-occlusive (Opsite IV 3000), we concluded that the tolerability of both approaches was similar. However, Duoderm E in conjunction with triamcinolone acetonide was highly effective, whereas Opsite IV 3000 in combination with this steroid only had an inconspicuous antipsoriatic potential.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
