Expert Advice
You have been recommended Clobetasol to relieve skin infection-related itching, swelling, and other discomforts. Apply a thin layer to the affected regions twice or thrice daily, or as your doctor may recommend. If you're using this medication, your doctor may recommend you avoid using any airtight dressings, like bandages, on the affected region. This medication should be applied, and your hands should be washed (unless your hands are in the treated area). This medication should not be used more frequently or for longer than prescribed. Before each application, make sure the affected area has sufficiently dried after cleaning with soap and water. Take precautions to prevent this medication from getting into the eyes, mouth, or vagina. If you accidentally contact it in the following locations, rinse it with cold water. Applying a gentle moisturiser can help you prevent skin dryness while you're getting treatment. If your skin condition has not improved after receiving therapy for two weeks, consult your doctor.
