title: [Effective treatment of chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Once a week occlusion therapy with clobetasol propionate and Duoderm].
abstract: The lesions of 161 patients with chronic skin diseases that were unresponsive to therapy were treated once a week with clobetasol propionate lotion left under the completely occlusive patch Duoderm. The lesions completely resolved after a period of nine days to four weeks in 148 patients, while partial remission was observed in the remaining 13. The following diseases responded favourably: chronic plaque psoriasis, psoriasis on palms and soles, palmoplantar pustulosis, skin lesions related to Reiter's syndrome, chronic lichenified eczema, neurodermatitis, breast eczema, discoid lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, sarcoidosis, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and lymphocytic infiltrate of Jessner. Relapses were infrequent when complete histological remission had been achieved. Other diseases which improved with this treatment were pompholyx, necrobiosis lipoidica, granuloma annulare and pretibial myxoedema.
