Clobetasol impact/dosage question
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi all, thanks again for the invaluable information on this forum.
1. FIrst, used Clobetasol daily for two weeks, and then switched to every other day. If my symptoms are settling down, can I go to once aweek? I don't see my doc again for three more weeks.
2. The white 'scarring' has -- as many mentioned on this board -- 'melted.' With continued clob use, will it leave, or just stay in the 'melted' state?
I'm using the baking soda spray after each (home) bathroom use, and added a daily dab of frankincense oil to see if that helps stop/reverse the mild fusing I have.
Again -- grateful for all the insights into this confusing condition!

As to fusing/changes I don't believe anything will stop it. There are good patches and bad. Just when I think it's all going good I'll have a flare up. The best thing is to be diligent with your hygiene regime, try cut out sugars and anything foods that may cause a flare up and the most important one for me - don't stress (sometimes easier said than done).
good luck

I would not reduce the glob usage just yet. It takes longer than a month or so to get things under control. I'm in for a couple of years now and still need to use, however small amount, twice a week.

My white patches have not returned since I continued the maintenance application of twice a week. personally I do not use any essential oils I won't risk it. I just use the Dermovate, to the spritzing with bicarb and water and I use HYDROMOL OINTMENT as a barrier . That's doing the job for me. I apply barrier ointment at least half an hour after the steroid cream. Skin is normal looking and feeling and does not split and tear as it used to.
So glad you've seen improvement already, you must keep it up, then hopefully fusing etc will be minimum. good luck x

But I keep reading more and more variations. Doctors do not all agree on how to use clobetasol.
