Recent issues of the Monthly Index of Medical Specialities (MIMS) include a table (in section 13H) which lists some potential sensitisers in topical corticosteroid preparations. Such a list is valuable since allergic contact dermatitis due to a constituent of a topical preparation is a troublesome and avoidable cause of failure to respond. It should help in choosing preparations for a patient known to be sensitised to any of the compounds listed, and in avoiding the more common sensitisers.

Chronic ulceration of the skin due to venous stasis is a common problem. Standard treatments include pressure bandaging and rest and elevation of the limb; topical antibacterial agents, preparations designed to remove slough, and anti-inflammatory compounds are also used. Each has its advocates and controlled comparisons between them are lacking. Topical corticosteroid preparations are definitely contraindicated1 except for any surrounding stasis eczema. Hazards of standard treatments include allergic contact dermatitis, especially to lanolin and neomycin.
