What Does Clobetasol Treat

I was given this tube of cream but, what is it supposed to do? ## I'm curious as to why someone would give you a prescription based tube of cream without telling you what it was. Bad business... Clobetasol propionate cream and ointment contain the active compound clobetasol propionate; a synthetic corticosteroid, for topical dermatologic use. It is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Treatment beyond 2 consecutive weeks is not recommended, and the total dosage should not exceed 50 g/week because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Please post back if you have any other questions or comments to add. ## I was given this foam and because my scalp sores are ...

free coupons ## my son is in wrestling and has ringworm in back of his neck. can i apply this medicine on his neck? (Clobetasol Propionate Cream USP, 0.05%) ## I'm sorry, but this website does not manufacture nor sell any medications, so they are unable to help with medication coupons. There are some companies that have them available for name brand, life-sustaining medications, but as I said those would be through the manufacturer. As to Mom's question, Clobetasol is a steroid class medication, so no it will not treat the fungal infection that causes ringworm. That will require an antifungal topical ointment, so anyone with such an issue will need to see their doctor for an appropriate prescription. Learn more Clobetasol details here. Is there anything I can help with?

My dogs have had bad itchy red spots with hair loss. They have been going crazy. After all I tried I put some clobetasol on my dogs and everything has gone away after all. Is it safe for them if used properly. ## Hi Junebug, Glad to hear that your dogs are doing better. From what I've researched online, veterinarians do commonly prescribe clobetasol to dogs. So my opinion is that they should be fine. However I'd probably be a little reluctant to administer it myself until receiving specific dosing instructions directly from a vet, who can ideally make the most informed decision when it comes to various treatment options that are available (some perhaps safer than others in terms of possible side effects). Hope this helps! ## HOW MUCH DO YOU PUT ON THEM AT A TIMEOF THE CLOBETASOL...

Can clobetasol propionate .05% be used to treat athlete's foot fungus on my feet? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? No, this is a steroid medication, so it won't help with athlete's foot, which is a fungal infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation and dryness. To treat it, you need an antifungal cream, there are many available over the counter, if your doctor approves of your using them. Alternatively, they can prescribe something for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I use renovate as an skin antifungal? not athlete's foot ## Can this ointment be purchased over-the-counter? I was using it on my hair at one time prescribed by a hair doctor. Now I find my hair in the same condition.

I was prescribed clobetasol propionate 0.05% for severe chronic inflammation on my genitals and vagina, now my mouth lips are burning and can I use this cream there? ## Many questions like this get posted, so I'd like to clarify the answer for anyone else seeking similar information… If a medication was prescribed to treat one thing and/or to be used on a specific area of the body, you should not try to use it to treat something else or a different area, unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so. While such a medication as this may be safe on the vagina and genital area, it may not be safe to use on your face, or lips, which also adds the risk of ingesting some of it and that could be very dangerous. Please don't try to self-diagnose and don't ...

Hi I have pimples and black scars I already have eaten so many medicines some one suggest me can I use clobetasol salicylic acid ointment ## Yes, it is often used to help treat acne, but you should only use it if your doctor has instructed you to do so, because in some instances the Clobetasol can actually cause acne, or make it worse. The NIH lists its other typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, dryness, and flaking. Is there anything else I can help with?

Have severe burnt lips for over two weeks from tropical sun. Can I use this ointment for the lip (.05) ? ## Hi Don, Sorry to hear about what happen to your lips. Regarding the Clobetasol propionate ointment, this is a corticosteroid used to treat severe inflammatory skin conditions as well as various skin disorders, ranging from eczema to psoriasis. While it's not intended to be a cure for the condition on your lip, it may help alleviate much of the symptoms associated with a flare-up of pain or discomfort by reducing inflammation, itching and redness. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Clobetasol Details Hopefully being in the setting of a lush tropical environment was totally worth it in the long run ;) ## hi sir i got eczema on my hands and face ,i consulted ...

I used 0.05% clobetasol tropical ointment for a month for allopecia and its been 2 months since i stopped using it because my doctor asked me to use it only for a month. I'm wondering if i can use it again as my hair didn't stop falling out and the bald patches are growing bigger? Thank you. ## Hello, Sarah! How are you?

I have seen several posts praising this topical steroid for treatment of incivek rash. It did work great, but now I fear that people in treatment and perhaps their doctors are not being certain that this super steroidal foam could be contra-indicated for the same reasons as prednisone. Prednisone relies on the CYP3-A enzyme for clearance, the same enzyme suppressed by incivek. I am sure that even though clobetasol is topical, when applied on rashy areas it gets into the blood. Question then is does it also involve CYP3-A enzyme for clearance. ## I accidently used Clobetasol Propionate Cream 0.05 in place of my vaginal retrace creme. What will be the reaction?

can clobetasol propionate cream be used for scars and age spots ## Hello, Stephani! How are you? Clobetasol is classified by the FDA as a corticosteroid, so no, it shouldn't be used for anything, unless your doctor has prescribed it to treat that. In some cases, it could actually worsen some skin conditions, rather than helping them. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including skin burning, itching, acne and redness. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I relax my hair and use Clobex shampoo? ## Clobex (Clobetasol) is used to treat the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin and scalp conditions. Hair relaxers tend to have so many ingredients (as much as 50 or more) that one would have to check each and every interaction between them and the shampoo in order to know for sure. Having relaxed my own hair in the past, I would be willing to give it a shot and see how your hair reacts. In general however, the hair should remain relaxed for at least a few weeks despite using various shampoos. It could be contraindicating however if the shampoo is for curls and you relaxed your hair to be straight. That would really be the only concern in my honest opinion. Have you tried it yet with any ...

My husband suffering from psoriasis... Will this evion skin cream helps his condition? ## This is just a skin cream that contains vitamin E, so it will not likely help much with such a condition. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness and irritation. What treatment has his physician advised? ## What OTC cream can I use for scalp psoriasis? It is about the size of a half dollar at the base of my neck. I was prescribed clobetasol propionate foam. It worked well, but came back within a month. Big problem is it was $600 with a co-pay of $300, which I can not afford. I don't expect it to go away as fast and will keep it up after clearing.

I've been on OTEZLA for 6 weeks. I also treat my psoriasis with a steroid ointment and a clobetasol FOAM for my scalp. I have to say nausea is the worst side effect I have from it. OTEZLA says you can take it with no dietary restrictions but I think you should eat 30 minutes prior to taking it. Migraines are the other thing I get frequently since taking it. ## Hello, Chelsie! How are you doing? Those can be typical side effects, as reported by the manufacturer, Celgene. You may also experience dizziness, diarrhea, fatigue, and runny nose. In such cases, where nausea is bad, most doctors or pharmacists do recommend that you make sure to take the medication with food, but it is always a good idea to double check, just in case.
