Used topically to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and allergic dermatitis. It is a medium-potency corticosteroid that works by suppressing the body's immune response in the skin, helping to control flare-ups and manage chronic inflammatory skin disorders. Commonly found in creams and ointments, it is applied directly to affected areas, usually once or twice daily, for short-term treatment under medical supervision. Due to its potency, prolonged use is generally avoided to minimize risks of skin thinning and systemic absorption.
