Steroid cream surprise: study probes hidden fluid shifts in skin disease
NCT ID NCT02360202
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a very strong steroid cream (clobetasol propionate) causes fluid retention in 30 adults with bullous pemphigoid, a blistering skin condition. Researchers measured changes in body water using a special scale (bioimpedance) over 30 days. The goal was to understand if the cream leads to unexpected swelling, which could help guide future diet or monitoring recommendations.
