Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 I hate to sound so ignorant but I was just told by another dermatologist that clindamycin/cetacort topical preparation is a topical steroid... the cetacort anyway. I had always had good luck w/ this for seborheic dermatitis but never knew that it was a topical steroid which if my reading is correct has probably thinned my skin in the areas applied whilst exacerbating a good portion of the erythema I am seeing now. Is this accurate... and to think that it was never mentioned to me that this was a topical steroid... I always thought it was a topical antibiotic preparation... not giving too much though to the cetacort component of it. Hmmm.. all very interesting.
