FAQs
Is Clobederm-S Lotion a prescription product?
Yes. It contains Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%, a super-potent prescription-only corticosteroid. Use only under a dermatologist's supervision.
How is Clobederm-S different from plain Clobederm Lotion?
Clobederm-S adds Salicylic Acid to the base clobetasol formulation. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic that softens and removes thick scales, making it particularly effective for heavily scaled psoriasis plaques or hyperkeratotic eczema where scale removal is needed before the steroid can penetrate adequately.
Why is the maximum use limited to 2 weeks?
Clobetasol Propionate is a Class 1 (super-potent) corticosteroid. Prolonged use causes skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, adrenal suppression, and systemic absorption effects. Two weeks is the standard maximum continuous course.
Can I use Clobederm-S on my face, scalp, groin, or armpits?
Do NOT apply to face, groin, or armpits — skin in these areas is thin and absorbs steroids at a much higher rate, increasing the risk of atrophy and systemic effects. Scalp psoriasis plaques (not the hairline or face) can be treated with lotion.
What is the maximum weekly dose?
Do not exceed 50ml per week. Exceeding this significantly increases the risk of HPA axis suppression.
Is this safe for children?
Clobetasol Propionate should not be used in children without specialist paediatric dermatology supervision due to higher systemic absorption risk.
What should I avoid using alongside Clobederm-S?
Avoid concurrent use with other corticosteroids or salicylic acid preparations on the same area. Do not use on infected skin without concurrent antimicrobial treatment.
