How is tx duration using topical corticosteroids?

Class I (<4 weeks), High and medium class (<6-8 weeks), Low potency (rare side effects, 1-2 weeks tx for first manifestations to avoid side effects) Long-term management use least potent steroid Stop tx when resolves [gradual reduction of potency and dosing to avoid rebound flares] May use intermittent therapy to maintain long-term disease control [twice weekly] If no response to tx consider refferal to a dermatologist
