In regions having a problem like the face, the genital region and the cutaneous folds having intertrigo, the product should be used with caution and for not more than one week and over small surfaces. The treatment over wide surfaces and/or for a long duration imposes a particular caution. Treatment must not exceed 2 or 3 weeks of uninterrupted application.

Adverse Reactions
Allergic cutaneous reactions may be observed in very rare cases. The indesirable local effects like cutaneous irritation, burning sensation, pruritis as well as hypersensitivity reactions to a component of the product are possible especially at the start of the treatment. In case of prolonged application, there is a possibility of the appearance of secondary local indesirable effects typical of corticoids like cutaneous atrophy, vergetures, purpura, telangiectesia, steroidal acne, acne rosacea or peribuccal dermatitis. In case of application over large surfaces and/or under occlusive dressings, the possibility of systemic effects of dexamethasone must be considered: adrenocortical suppression, cushing syndrome, oedema, vergeture, manifestation of latent diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and growth troubles in children. It is noted that the decline of the local immune resistance increases the risk of secondary infections.
