Fluocortolone is a synthetic corticosteroid primarily used in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It is commonly applied topically as a cream or ointment to alleviate symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The chemical helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching by suppressing the immune response in the affected area. Additionally, it is sometimes prescribed for allergic reactions and other skin disorders where inflammation is a key concern. Its effectiveness in managing these conditions makes it a valuable active pharmaceutical ingredient in dermatological treatments. Use should be under medical supervision to avoid potential side effects from prolonged steroid use.
