To reduce the risk of adverse events, high-potency glucocorticoid should not be applied on the face, intertriginous areas, areas with thin layers of skin (e.g. the perineum, armpit) in children. [21] [22] [23] Moreover, high-potency glucocorticoid should be applied to skin only once a day and should not be used for more than fourteen days. [24]

Glucocorticoid potency, duration of effect, and the overlapping mineralocorticoid potency vary. Cortisol is the standard of comparison for glucocorticoid potency. Hydrocortisone is the name used for pharmaceutical preparations of cortisol. [citation needed] The data below refer to oral administration.
Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones.Two main classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including stress response, immune response, and regulation of inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism ...
Topical steroids are the topical forms of corticosteroids. Topical steroids are the most commonly prescribed topical medications for the treatment of rash and eczema. Topical steroids have anti-inflammatory properties and are classified based on their skin vasoconstrictive abilities. [1] There are numerous topical steroid products.
The 17α-ethenylated (vinylated) testosterone derivative norvinisterone (vinylnortestosterone) is much more potent as an AAS than the 17α-ethynylated testosterone derivatives and is intermediate in potency between the 17α-ethynylated progestins and conventional AAS, with approximately one-third and one-fifth of the respective androgenic and ...
Halcinonide is a high potency corticosteroid, in group II (second most potent group) under US classification. [1] It is used topically (in a 0.05% cream provided as Halog) in the treatment of certain skin conditions. It is available as a generic medication. [2]
