Good results have been obtained when fluocinolone acetonide was used for the local treatment of eczema (Delzant, 1061 ; Robinson, 1061 ; Scholtz. I061rt and Mjornberg and Hellgren, 1062} and psoriasis (Bjomberg and Hellgren. 10(>2, IO6:J : and Scholtz, 10616). The present investigation was carried out in order to test its efFect on chronic discoid lupus erythematosus. Mitchell and Mitchell (1062) found an objective improvement in 6 out of 0 cases of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus which were treated with fluocinolone acetonide ointment.
