Topical corticosteroids are generally applied to the affected area as a thin film three to four times daily (depending on the severity of the condition) in accordance with physician’s directions or as directed otherwise by a physician. Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted. Use with occlusive dressings or diapers should be under physician supervision.
