Summary
A double-blind comparative trial was carried out in 56 patients with psoriasis to assess the effectiveness of 0.25 % desoxymethasone and 0.05 % fluocinonide ointments. All patients showed marked improvement in their condition with twice daily application of the ointments during the 2-week period of the trial. Erythema, scaling and induration on the desoxymethasone-treated side showed a significantly better improvement than on the fluocinonide-treated side.
