Clobetasol Scalp Application

Clobetasol is a type of topical medication called a topitcal corticosteroid. It can be used when a patient hasn’t benefited from over the counter products to relieve itching and burning due to various skin problems. Clobetasol Scalp Application is a thinner product than a cream or ointment and can be more easily applied to treat skin conditions of the scalp.

It is very important to disclose how frequently the problems occur with the skin as well as the severity. Due to the potency of this Corticosteroid product, a person shouldn’t use it for longer than a period of 14 days. If the flare ups continue, the Dermatologist may have to consider other forms of treatment to offer.

Clobetasol can be used to help reduce tenderness, itching, swelling, and redness around the affected area. It should be applied only as directed, which can be several times per day. Many Dermatologists suggest using it when the area is itchy, but at least three times per day.

It needs to be applied with clean hands and thoroughly rubbed into the skin for best results. Hands that are dirty risk further agitating the affected area. Wearing gloves or applying the ointment with a Q-Tip can be a good idea.

If the side effects are severe make sure you talk to your Dermatologist about it. Women shouldn’t use this product if they are nursing or pregnant due to the possible risks to the fetus or the baby.
