Correct answer: A — Mild-to-moderate corticosteroid for a short course

The best answer is “Mild-to-moderate corticosteroid for a short course”. Flexural skin is more vulnerable to corticosteroid atrophy, so a mild or moderate-potency topical corticosteroid is used for a short course. Potent preparations are avoided or tightly limited at these sites. Persistent disease may require a calcineurin inhibitor under appropriate guidance or specialist review.
