Description

Indications

Clobetasol topical is prescribed to alleviate the symptoms associated with a range of scalp and skin conditions, including psoriasis and eczema. These symptoms may encompass itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort. Clobetasol belongs to a class of medications known as corticosteroids, which function by stimulating natural substances within the skin to diminish swelling, redness, and itching.

Uses and Dosage

Apply this medication exclusively to the skin; refrain from using it on the face, groin, or underarms unless explicitly instructed by your doctor.

Prior to application, ensure your hands are clean and dry. Thoroughly cleanse and dry the affected area. Administer a thin layer of the medication to the affected region and gently massage it in as per your doctor’s instructions, typically twice daily. Avoid bandaging, covering, or wrapping the area unless explicitly instructed by your doctor.

After applying the medication, wash your hands unless you are utilizing it to treat your hands. When applying it in the vicinity of the eyes, take care to prevent contact with the eyes to avoid exacerbating or causing glaucoma. Likewise, avoid introducing the medication into the nose or mouth; in case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with copious amounts of water.

Utilize this medication solely for the prescribed condition. Do not extend its use beyond 2 consecutive weeks or exceed 50 grams per week unless specifically directed by your doctor.

Should your condition persist or worsen after two weeks, inform your doctor.

Side Effects

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention:

  • burning, itching, irritation, redness, or dryness of the skin
  • acne
  • tiny red bumps or rash around the mouth
  • small white or red bumps on the skin
  • bruising or shiny skin
  • red or purple blotches or lines under the skin
  • thin, fragile, or dry skin
  • changes in skin color

Inform your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any serious side effects:

  • redness, swelling, oozing pus or other signs of skin infection in the place where you applied clobetasol
  • severe rash
  • skin sores
  • changes in the way fat is spread around the body
  • sudden weight gain
  • unusual tiredness
  • muscle weakness
  • depression and irritability

Caution

Before initiating treatment with clobetasol, inform your doctor or pharmacist of any allergies you may have, particularly if you are allergic to clobetasol itself, other corticosteroids like hydrocortisone and prednisone, or if you have any other known allergies. This medication may contain inactive components capable of eliciting allergic reactions or other complications.

Provide your doctor or pharmacist with your medical history, with special attention to conditions such as poor blood circulation, immune system disorders, or certain skin conditions like rosacea and perioral dermatitis.

Refrain from using clobetasol if there is an existing infection or open sore in the intended treatment area.

In rare instances, prolonged use or application of corticosteroid medications over extensive skin areas may hinder your body’s ability to respond to physical stress. Prior to any surgery, emergency treatment, or in the event of a severe illness or injury, inform your doctor or dentist if you are currently using this medication or have done so within the past few months.

Although it is unlikely, the prolonged use of this medication in children may temporarily impede their growth. Schedule regular check-ups with the doctor to monitor your child’s height.

During pregnancy, employ this medication only when its benefits significantly outweigh the potential risks. Consult your doctor for a thorough discussion of the advantages and drawbacks of its usage.

The extent to which this drug passes into breast milk when applied topically is unknown. To be well-informed about the implications, consult your doctor before initiating breastfeeding.
