ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare clinical improvement between treatment with metilprednisolone aceponate vs. betamethasone dipropionate among children with nonretractable prepuce.
Material and methods: Between August 2001 and November 2002, we carried out a double blind and controlled clinical trial in 34 children with a diagnosis of nonretracable prepuce. Children were randomly assigned to one of the following groups and topical treatment was administered: Group A; metilprednisolone aceponate 0.1% and Group B; betamethasone dipropionate 0.05%.
Results:2 = 0.2; p = 0.6).
Conclusions: The percentage of clinical improvement was similar between the two groups of topical steroid treatment administered.
