Used primarily in dermatology, this compound treats inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and allergic dermatitis. It works by reducing swelling, itching, and redness through its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Due to its high potency, it is typically prescribed for short-term use on localized areas of the skin. It is available in creams, ointments, and lotions, and is applied topically. Care is taken to avoid use on sensitive areas like the face or under occlusive dressings unless directed, as it can cause skin thinning or other local side effects with prolonged use.
