Clobetasol is a prescription medication used for the treatment of symptoms caused by various skin conditions. Commonly supplied as a topical cream, gel, or lotion, clobetasol is applied directly to the skin to ease uncomfortable redness, itching, flaking, and swelling caused by psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and eczema, among other inflammatory skin conditions. It can also be applied to the head as a treatment for scalp psoriasis.

Clobetasol is currently available under the brand names Clobex, Cormax, Embeline, Olux, and Temovate. These are all forms of topical corticosteroid medication meant to be applied directly to the affected area.

Clobetasol is indicated for use as a treatment for symptoms caused by various skin conditions. This includes plaque psoriasis and eczema. It is also prescribed as a foam or shampoo to treat scalp psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a common, often chronic, skin condition that causes red, scaly, and itchy patches on various parts of the body. The elbows, knees, scalp, feet, lower back, and genitals are the most common areas affected by psoriasis. These patches of inflamed skin are called plaques. Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis, affecting nearly 7 million Americans every year.

Psoriasis is caused by an overreactive immune system that generates new skin cells at rapid rates. When these skin cells are produced quickly, they begin to build up on the surface of the skin. This leads to the patchy, scaly skin symptomatic of psoriasis.

Psoriasis is not contagious, although it can be passed down through genetics. Symptoms usually begin to appear between the ages of 15 and 25. In some cases, the symptoms of psoriasis are brought on by a trigger that causes an outbreak.

Common symptoms of psoriasis include:

• Skin rash that can affect small-to-large areas of skin
  
• Skin dryness that can crack and bleed
  
• Flaking
  
• Peeling skin
  
• Itching or burning
  
• Hair loss (caused by scalp psoriasis)
  
  

Clobetasol is also prescribed to treat forms of dermatitis (eczema). The most common form of eczema; atopic dermatitis is caused by a weakened natural barrier of the skin, which makes the skin more vulnerable to irritants and allergens. Atopic dermatitis can be caused by environmental factors, a weakened immune system, or genetics.

The most common symptoms of eczema include:

• Itchy skin
  
• Dry skin
  
• Inflamed and discolored skin
  
• Crusting
  
• Scaly patches of skin
  
  

Contact dermatitis can be caused by an allergic reaction to something you touch or a reaction to a chemical/ harsh substance that irritates the skin. Contact dermatitis can be caused by certain cleaning products (like bleach), poison ivy, skin care products, latex, or nickel metal.

When left untreated, psoriasis and eczema can cause serious complications. When skin is irritated it can become easily cracked. Cracked and broken skin is susceptible to becoming infected by viruses and bacteria, leading to potentially life-threatening skin infections.

Clobetasol use may cause some adverse reactions. Talk to your doctor if these reactions become severe or do not go away after a few days.

Mild side effects reported from clobetasol use include:
Burning or stinging in the treated area
Dry or red skin
Skin thinning
Irritation (scaling, flaking, swelling of the skin)

Again, if these side effects do not cease within a few days, talk to a health care professional right away.

More serious side effects of clobetasol include signs of skin infection (such as redness, pus, and oozing at the affected area), sudden weight gain, tiredness, muscle weakness, hives, hair loss, abnormal facial hair growth in females, and depression. This is not a complete list of all adverse reactions. Talk to your health care provider right away if you experience any of the side effects listed above.

As with all medication, be sure to talk to your health care provider about any medical conditions you have, and any medication or supplements you are taking before starting treatment with clobetasol. Clobetasol can interact with other drugs and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. Be sure to mention any other corticosteroid medication or topical drugs you are currently using. Additionally, if you have ever experienced a serious reaction from corticosteroid use, you should inform your health care provider prior to starting treatment.

Let your provider know if you have been previously diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome (an adrenal gland disorder), rosacea, diabetes, glaucoma, high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), or other skin problems before starting treatment with clobetasol.

Tell your health care provider if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with clobetasol. If you become pregnant as you are using clobetasol, notify your health care provider immediately.

Clobetasol is commonly supplied as a topical cream, gel, ointment, foam, or shampoo. The form and dosage of clobetasol that is prescribed will depend on the condition requiring treatment. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before applying clobetasol. Apply a thin layer of the medication to the skin and rub it in gently. Follow the instructions of your health care provider and ask any questions you may have about proper use and dosage for this medication.

For skin irritation (dermatitis):

Clobetasol will be prescribed as a gel, cream, or ointment. This should be applied to the affected area twice a day. Wash your hands before and after application. Rub a thin layer of the topical solution into clean skin while protecting the treated area from water, clothing, or anything else that may wipe off the medication before it dries. Do not bandage or wrap the skin unless expressly directed to do so by a health care provider.

For plaque psoriasis:

Clobetasol will be prescribed as a medicated cream or foam. Apply the medication to the affected skin twice a day–in the morning and at night before bed. Protect the treated area from water, clothing or anything else that may wipe off the medication before it dries.

For scalp conditions:

Clobetasol will be prescribed as a topical foam, solution, or shampoo. If you have been prescribed foam or scalp solution, apply the medication to the affected area twice a day–once in the morning and once at night. If you have been prescribed the shampoo, use this once a day in the shower.

Continue use of clobetasol throughout the full course of treatment outlined by your health care provider. You should begin to notice improvement within a couple of days of starting treatment, but it is important that you do not discontinue the use of the medication even if symptoms begin to go away. Similarly, do not increase your dosage of the medication (the frequency with which you apply it) without consulting your provider first. An overdose of clobetasol can lead to potentially harmful side effects.

Keep clobetasol out of reach of small children. Store the medication in the container it was supplied in at room temperature. Avoid exposing the medication to excessive heat or moisture. Do not freeze clobetasol.

Take clobetasol exactly as prescribed and inform your health care provider if you begin to experience any side effects from use.
