To assess the histological changes and tissue atrophy caused by applying various topical corticosteroids to normal skin over a one-month duration.
Applied different corticosteroid preparations daily to normal human forearm skin for one month.
Conducted histological examinations to evaluate microscopic changes in both epidermal and dermal skin layers.
Marked epidermal atrophy developed after one month of exposure to more potent corticosteroid formulations.
Dermal alterations remained minimal or were completely absent across all tested preparations.
