Used primarily in topical dermatological formulations for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions. Commonly found in creams and ointments for eczema, atopic dermatitis, and allergic contact dermatitis. Offers anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects with relatively low systemic absorption due to its esterified structure, which may reduce the risk of skin atrophy compared to more potent steroids. Suitable for use on sensitive areas including the face and skin folds when prescribed appropriately. Often preferred in pediatric and long-term treatment regimens where a balance between efficacy and safety is required.
