Abstract
A 0.1% Dexamethasone ointment was found in a double blind controlled trial to be therapeutically superior to Locacorten (Ciba) in the treatment of eczema. It was not effective against psoriasis even under occlusive dressings. Corticosteroid applications produce local suppressions of the immune mechanism giving rise to viral infections (molluscum contagiosum, viral warts), but in particular to fungal infections; this is common with prolonged treatment of foot eczema. Subsequent anti-fungal therapy on its own, cleared all skin lesions.
