How strong is the steroid in Clobederm-NN?
Clobetasol propionate 0.05% is a potent (super-potent) topical steroid. The added neomycin and nystatin cover bacterial and fungal overgrowth, but the steroid component still requires careful, time-limited use.

Skin atrophy, striae, pigmentation changes, hypercorticism with prolonged extensive use, allergic contact dermatitis (especially to neomycin) and masking of infection. Stop and consult your doctor if irritation, allergy or worsening rash develops.
