“…In 1956, Forsey and Anhalt reported the somewhat effective use of intralesional hydrocortisone in the treatment of localized myxedema. 10 Triamcinolone acetonide became available in the late 1950s, and in 1960, James reported on its preliminary intralesional use in localized dermatoses. 11 He and his colleagues administered ILS to 78 cases, which included 56 cases of localized dermatitis (neurodermatitis, lichen simplex chronicus).…”
ILS at 2.5 mg/cc is safe, economical, and effective and its greater use should be encouraged in inflammatory dermatoses such as psoriasis and localized dermatitis. Further well-designed research would be helpful.

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.
