Intermittent topical treatment of psoriasis with betamethasone dipropionate 0.05 percent cream.

Abstract
Seventy-three patients with psoriasis were treated in an open multicenter study with betamethasone dipropionate 0.05 percent cream (twice daily application for four days) alternated with the cream base (twice daily application for three days). The therapeutic response at the end of the treatment period of three weeks was very satisfactory: 39 patients had marked improvement or recovery, 16 patients had moderate improvement, and 14 patients had slight improvement. These results did not differ from those of a study on continuous treatment with betamethasone dipropionate cream in the treatment of psoriasis. Side effects (folliculitis) were only noted in one patient.
