[Topical use of prednicarbate preparations in children]

Abstract

Prednicarbate (Dermatop) was topically applied in 50 children suffering from inflammatory dermatoses. In 12 children, the courses of therapy were documented by photographs. Its rapid onset of action, its lacking suppression of the endogenic biosynthesis of cortisol, as well as its small antiproliferative effect on cutaneous fibroblasts suggest that prednicarbate bears only minor risks especially for children's skin.
