Abstract

In an open investigation on 50 patients with various dermatological lesions 17 (81%) out of 21 psoriatics and 28 out of 29 other patients improved considerably or were clinically cured after three weeks' treatment with an ointment containing 0·05% betamethasone dipropionate and 3·0% chinoform. Among the patients chosen for the study 34 had previously tried topical corticosteroids without success. Of these 31 improved markedly during the steroid trial.
