The influence of a new hydrocolloid dermatological patch on the blanching response induced by topical corticosteroid formulations

Determination of the blanching activity and, by inference, the clinical anti-inflammatory efficiency of several corticosteroid formulations applied to non-occluded sites and comparison with the blanching on identical sites occluded with a new hydrocolloid dermatological patch (corticosteroids used: hydrocortisone, betamethasone, fluocinonide and halcinonide creams). Duration of occlusion and corticosteroid bioavailability
