The effects of topical fluocinolone therapy on the lesions of mycosis fungoides were evaluated in 6 patients. Concentrations of fluocinolone 0.01 to 0.2% beneath occlusive plastic film were used. Pre‐ and post‐treatment histological studies were carried out. Treatment was effective in modifying lesions both clinically and microscopically. The degree of improvement appeared proportionately related to the concentration used. No serious side effects were observed. Improvement was noted for as long as 9 months when therapy was continued.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
