Rosacea, acne, perioral dermatitis, anogenital pruritis, and napkin eruption are all examples of primary skin infections. Hypersensitivity to neomycin is also known.

Side Effects

Although side effects are uncommon, as with all topical corticosteroids, patients may experience hypersensitivity reactions.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Topical corticosteroids given to pregnant animals can induce embryonic development problems, including cleft palate and intrauterine growth retardation.
