Neurodermatitis and intralesional steroids.
The present work describes the results of treatment of 30 cases of neurodermatitis circumscripta by intralesional injections which were given by Dermo-Jet. 15 cases were treated with triamcinolone acetonide (0.25 mg/cm2 of the skin) and the rest with aqua distillata every week for 8 weeks and were followed for another 4 weeks. The results of treatment were excellent in 66% of triamcinolone treated cases and 46% of aqua distillata treated cases. The difference in the response was statistically insignificant. So we conclude that aqua distillata might have worked as suggestion therapy in emotionally labile individuals.
