Triamcinolone and Hydrocortisone in Topical Therapy

Triamcinolone and Hydrocortisone in Topical Therapy Abstract Blank1 recently reported on the relative effectiveness of a lotion containing 0.01% triamcinolone acetonide compared to 1% hydrocortisone in 30 patients with atopic or seborrheic dermatitis. He and his co-workers found that in 28 of 30 patients the 0.01% triamcinolone was as effective or more effective than the 1% hydrocortisone, that is, in 10 of 30 the 0.01% triamcinolone was superior; in 18 of 30 the lotions were equally effective.
