Used primarily in dermatological formulations for its potent anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. It is effective in treating various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and allergic dermatitis. Due to its enhanced glucocorticoid activity and reduced mineralocorticoid effects, it provides strong suppression of immune responses in the skin with minimal systemic side effects when applied topically. Its structure allows for better penetration and retention in the epidermal layers, making it suitable for short-term management of moderate to severe inflammatory skin disorders. Not intended for long-term use due to potential for skin atrophy, telangiectasia, and other local adverse effects.
