Used primarily in dermatology, this compound is effective in treating inflammatory and pruritic (itch-relieving) manifestations of various skin conditions. It is commonly prescribed for allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with these disorders. Due to its moderate potency, it balances efficacy with a lower risk of side effects compared to high-potency corticosteroids, making it suitable for use on sensitive areas such as the face and intertriginous zones. It is typically available in cream or ointment form for topical application, usually applied two to three times daily depending on the severity of the condition.
