The aim of the study was to compare the therapeutic effect of the new corticoid, diflucortolone valerate, with the effect of fluocinolone acetonide. The study was conducted as a randomised double-blind trial in 60 patients with various dermatoses. The results were good in 89% of the cases treated with diflucortolone valerate fatty ointment, while the same result was achieved in only 63.5% of the cases treated with fluocinolone acetonide ointment. No side effects were observed during the use of diflucortolone valerate fatty ointment, while local side effects occurred in 2 cases during the use of fluocinolone acetonide ointment.
