Evaluation of cutaneous vasoconstriction after applications of varying duration of topical corticoids on the flexor surfaces of the forearms of 20 patients with intact skin shows a significantly faster blanching effect with diflucortolone valerate ointment than with fluocinolone acetonide and betamethasone valerate ointments. Furthermore, the test shows that even for a highly active preparation, such as the diflucortolone valerate ointment, an application time of less than 3 h only exceptionally leads to vasoconstriction in the healthy skin.
