Table of Contents
Clobederm S Lotion: Targeted Relief for Inflammatory Skin Conditions #
Clobederm S Lotion combines the potent anti-inflammatory action of clobetasol propionate with the keratolytic (skin-peeling) properties of salicylic acid. This dual-action formula is particularly effective in treating inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, where skin thickening and scaling are prominent features.
How Does Clobederm S Lotion Work? #
- Clobetasol Propionate: A highly potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching.
- Salicylic Acid: A keratolytic agent that softens and sheds the outer layer of skin, helping the clobetasol penetrate more effectively and reducing scaling.
What Conditions Does Clobederm S Lotion Treat? #
Clobederm S Lotion is commonly prescribed for:
- Psoriasis: A condition characterized by thick, scaly patches of skin.
- Eczema: A chronic condition causing dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.
- Other Inflammatory Skin Conditions: May be used for other conditions where inflammation and scaling are present, as directed by your physician.
How to Use Clobederm S Lotion #
- Apply Sparingly: Apply a thin layer of Clobederm S Lotion to the affected areas of skin twice daily, or as directed by your physician.
- Gently Rub In: Gently rub the lotion into the skin until it is absorbed.
- Short-Term Use: Clobederm S is a potent corticosteroid and should generally be used for short periods only (up to 2 weeks) to avoid side effects.
