Clobetasol Propionate Ointment 0.5%

Posted , 4 users are following.

Does anyone know whether this ointment is effective? A dermatologist I saw today prescribed it for my excema. I've used steroid creams before and they seem to help temporarily. Any opinions on Clobetasol Propionate? It is the strongest steroid ointment that has been prescribed for me. Any other effective suggestions? Thanks.

    It is very effective for treating dermatitis on the scalp and other regions that aren't dealing with sensitive skin. It is definitely not recommended to be used on the face.
