Efficacy of corticosteroids in acute experimental irritant contact dermatitis?

Background/aims: Topical corticoids are used to treat irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) in humans. However, their clinical efficacy remains sub judice. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of low‐ and medium‐potency corticosteroids on irritant dermatitis.
