Topical corticosteroids application in the evening is more effective than in the morning in psoriasis: comment

Abstract

We read with great interest the article by Nguyen et al. published ahead-of-print in Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology entitled, 'Topical corticosteroids application in the evening is more effective than in the morning in psoriasis'.¹ The authors suggested that the efficacy of topical corticosteroids application in the evening is better than in the morning. However, we wish to make some comments on this article.

Firstly, the application of topical corticosteroids for each patient can be more precisely. In their study, they prescribed a daily total of three to five tubes of betamethasone ointment according to body surface area (BSA) (three tubes for BSA≤1.5 m², four tubes for BSA 1.5-2 m², five tubes for BSA≥2 m²).
