Standard treatment with potent topical corticosteroids is very effective but longtime application can provoke atrophy and fragility of the skin as well as telangiectasias erythema perstans, perioral dermatitis and steroid acne. Systemic resorption depending on the dosage, area, and way of application resulting in terms of a dysfunction of the hypothalamus-hypophysis axis has been described (Korting, 1992). Contact allergies are very uncommon, but have been reported (Lauerma et al. 1993).
