Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of Cordran Tape and other occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted. Replacement of the tape every 12 hours produces the lowest incidence of adverse reactions, but it may be left in place for 24 hours if it is well tolerated and adheres satisfactorily. When necessary, the tape may be used at night only and removed during the day. If ends of the tape loosen prematurely, they may be trimmed off and replaced with fresh tape. The directions given below are included for the patient to follow unless otherwise instructed by the physician.
The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis. The following may occur more frequently with occlusive dressings: maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, miliaria.
Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of these preparations. Use of Cordran Tape is not recommended for lesions exuding serum or in intertriginous areas.
