- Description: Finally, we would like to assure Dr Gaylarde that we do not advocate the use of the human skin blanching assay. There are several other in vivo methods for determining corticosteroid activity which will provide equally meaningful results. What we are advocating is that if the human skin blanching assay is going to be used, then it should be used properly.

- Description: It seems to us, and others (Burdick, 1974), that multiple reading times are essential to produce the response-time profile. Comparisons of potencies of topical corticosteroid formulations should only be made on the basis of area under the curve measurements and statistical treatment of all values obtained at each reading time throughout the course of the experiment.
