It’s a mild cortisone cream for inflammation. I used it for a while on my Achilles’ tendon post surgery and I’ve also for poison ivy.

My pup has some sort of redish gunk in his left ear. He is scratching like crazy. I gave him 1/2 of a Benadryl and put the cone of shame on him. Is Clobetasol safe to use in the ears?

Why did I get a tube of the ointmnt to use for only 2 weeks? Isn't that a waste of the money. What do I do with the rest of the tube?

I had suffered for several years with increasing pain and itching of vaginal area, as well as other, seemingly unrelated ailments. I was seen by several Gynecologists, Gastroenterologists, and GPs. By the summer of 2016, the pain had become acute. I was having problems just urinating and defecating. I returned to the OB/GYN again, and was about to be prescribed another Lubricant, when the Dr. suddenly wondered if I might be suffering with Lichen Planus. Clobetasol Propionate was prescribed, as well as an appointment with a Dermatologist. A course of Cortisone (oral), with the Clobetasol Propionate, and all of the symptoms were relieved within two weeks.

I was prescribed chlobetesol .05% cream for a contact dermatitis that I somehow picked up when I was hospitalized for surgery. After 3 days/nights of applying it to my upper back, neck and shoulders, the insanely itchy and bumpy red rash, subsided and then completely resolved. To that point, no other OTC hydrocortisone cream did a thing. And even a prescription based hydrocortisone .01% cream which I tried prior, did not help one bit.

For reasons unknown, while I was in the hospital for surgery, I developed a pinky red blotchy and raised itchy rash on my shoulders and across my upper back. The dermatologist called it contact dermatitis which is just a catch all phrase when they don't know the cause. The derm prescribed clobetasol cream .05% twice a day. It took 3 days but my rash gradually receded and completely resolved.

I am looking at my husband's tube of this stuff right now. Doctor gave him an Rx for because he had a swollen looking bulge on his elbow that itched and hurt. Elbow was white and ugly looking. After less than a few days use, my husband's elbow is completely healed and the skin looks like normal skin. I would have to say that it's pretty darn good stuff - this Clobetasol Propionate Cream, USP, 0.05%. If you have a good doctor, trust him. If not sure, do what I just did - research, research, research.

I developed a contact dermatitis on my shoulders, upper back and near my neck wound following surgery 12 days ago. Culture shows a staff infection though not clear what caused it. Surgeon gave me a 6 day dosepack of medrol which unfortunately did nothing for the rash or itchiness. I saw a dermatologist yesterday who prescribed clobetasol cream .05%. Applied it last night and then again this morning. The itching is driving me up a wall. No relief yet.
Does it work for my condition? How long does it take to begin to work?

Dr gave me clobetasol Propionate cream to mix with Clotrimazole cream for viginaitis it burns and causing me more pain then ever I can't even sleep says it takes 2 weeks and it will stop after that. This is not making sence to me to take medicine to help relieve pain but must go through more pain then started with for 2 weeks before I feel any relief really? Confused

Didn't know they were there and don't know how long they have been there. I haven't had intercourse with anyone in a very very very long time. One Dr. Told me it was skin tags down there. Another OB/GYN said no its not and gave me this cream. And it says to use daily for up to 4 weeks. Please help me understand. Thank u.
