Double‐blind clinical study reveals synergistic action between alpha‐hydroxy acid and betamethasone lotions towards topical treatment of scalp psoriasis

Abstract

The present clinical study demonstrates for the first time that the effective and well tolerated therapeutic efficacy of glycolic acid scalp lotions is enhanced when used in conjunction with a 0.1% betamethasone scalp application against scalp psoriasis. This potential offers the practising dermatologist with novel treatment modes against severe skin conditions by combining topical corticosteroid with exfoliative agent therapy.
