title: [Comparison between 2 steroid dosage forms in psoriasis and eczema].
abstract: This trial was designed to evaluate the clinical effect of a new Topical steroid, the desoximetasone (test name A 41 304 from Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft). A randomized, double-blind, right-left comparative trial has been carried out in 22 patients with atopic dermatitis and on 24 patients with psoriasis. As a comparative drug, a betamethasone 17-valerate preparation, being the strongest on the market, has been used. The new compound showed a better effect on both indications, the difference being significant (p less than 0,005) on psoriasis.
