Used primarily as a topical anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, this compound is effective in treating various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Its formulation allows for reduced irritation and sustained activity in the skin, making it suitable for sensitive areas. It works by suppressing immune responses and reducing the production of substances that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling. Commonly found in creams and ointments, it is also administered via injection for conditions such as arthritis or inflamed tissues to reduce pain and swelling. It is prescribed for short-term relief of inflammatory disorders and is not intended for prolonged use due to potential side effects such as skin thinning and other local reactions.
