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?

Hi Sir / Madam, I am Praveen from India - Tamil nadu - Chennai, i have problem facing more past 5 years in my head (scalp). No more treatment can helps me out from this scalp psoriasis. But i am using this medication.As per doctor advise (Clobetasol Propionate & salicylic acid Lotion). & (saliblu shampoo) past one month now i am feel some better. Pls. suggest me for further treatment. If shall i continue on this or shall i stop.

I have pimples on my face, that's why I want to use salicylic acid ointment. ## Does anyone know about the availability of Clobetasol Salicylic Acid Ointment online or if it requires a doctor's prescription? ## Clobetasol is a steroid class medication, so there is risk of it actually causing acne, rather than helping alleviate it, according to NIH reports. Other side effects may include skin redness, irritation, and skin flaking. MOHD, it depends on where you live, the U.S. requires a prescription, but that is not applicable in all countries. What other medications have you both tried?

can we use clobetasol propionate & salicylic acid ointment to the private parts? ## You should not use anything on your genitals that has not been specifically formulated to be used on them, unless your doctor has instructed you to do so. If you do so, it could result in infection, skin irritation, redness, burning, itching, and fungal infections, according to the NIH. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I apply clobetasol & salicylic acid cream can apply for scalp ## I'm using Clobetasol Propionate and Salicylic Acid Ointment. The acne has reduced in its size but the skin near the acne has become white in color. Will it be normal in a few days or should I get something done to it?

Contained in 45% of U.S. sunscreens, it is used as a chemical UV filter.[3] The salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays with a wavelength from 295nm to 315nm, protecting the skin from sun damage. The hydrophobic trimethyl cyclohexane f...
