In a double‐blind controlled trial, desoxymethasone was compared with beta‐methasone valerate in 50 patients with bilateral acute dermatitis using a “within patient” type of comparison. The topical efficacy of desoxymethasone was somewhat greater than that of betamethasone valerate. It was well tolerated and produced no local side effects.
