Steroid-induced dermal atrophy. Investigations on discontinuous application. [1989]
In this study several schedules of discontinuous application (DA) were tested, using various weak and strong topical corticosteroids (CS). The purpose of this study was to measure the influence of corticosteroids on skin thickness by means of a mechanical method...
