[Local corticosteroid therapy in childhood].
Various dermatoses require the application of topical glucocorticoids (gc) already in childhood. There are mostly inflammatory and frequently chronic skin diseases. In necessary long-term therapy the risk of topical and/or systemic side effects increases. This depends among others on special features of the children's skin, the potency of the gc and the mode of application. To avoid side effects, variations of a discontinuous therapy and so called weak gc should be used.
