%X objective: to compare clinical improvement between treatment with metilprednisolone aceponate vs. betamethasone dipropionate among children with nonretractable prepuce. material and methods: between august 2001 and november 2002, we carried out a double blind and controlled clinical trial in 34 children with a diagnosis of nonretracable prepuce. children were randomly assigned to one of the following groups and topical treatment was administered: group a; metilprednisolone aceponate 0.1% and group b; betamethasone dipropionate 0.05%. results: improvement was noted in 88.2% of our sample studied; (n=15) children from group a and 76.4% (n=13) children from group b; however, we did not observe a significant difference when comparing percentages between the two groups ( = 0.2; p = 0.6). conclusions: the percentage of clinical improvement was similar between the two groups of topical steroid treatment administered.
