Fluocinonide is a potent glucocorticoid used topically as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis.[2] It relieves itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort.[2]
A common potential adverse effect is skin atrophy (thinning of the skin).[3]
In 2022, it was the 266th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.[4][5]
