Abstract
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was carried out comparing the effects of clobetasol propionate ointment and the ointment base on the inflammation induced by cryotherapy of basal cell carcinomata and warts. A single application of the steroid was shown to be significantly better at reducing erythema, pain and swelling than the ointment base.
