Olux (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: This IS the only stuff that works. My Uncle was a Dermatologist and I have tried everything that had ever come out on the market. I was without insurance for a time and couldn't get Olux (couldn't afford it) and I had a severe outbreak. After finally getting a prescription, it was gone within 2 weeks.

Clobex (clobetasol) for Dermatitis: Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis: I was prescribed Clobex lotion for my condition that arises occasionally and causes itching and burning, mostly on my arms. Whenever I get a flareup, I apply Clobex and get immediate relief.

Clobex (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: I have had psoriasis for years and have treated it with cortisone to control the inflammations and itching. I discovered Clobex about a year ago and used it on my elbows and scalp. It does a great job in eliminating the external signs of psoriasis when used for 2 to 4 weeks. However, after about a month the symptoms return. I have used it a second and third time with the same results but I am hesitant to continue this process considering the warnings provided.

clobetasol for Seborrheic Dermatitis: I have been a user of clobetasol for my dandruff for almost a year now and I was able to see results almost instantly. I have ethnic hair and I average washing my hair once every 1-1.5 weeks. After each wash, I part my hair once down the middle (forehead to neck) and once across the middle (from ear to ear) and apply a light application of the cream to each of the parts and on my temples. This lasts me until my next wash. Life has been much easier for me since!

Clobex (clobetasol) for Atopic Dermatitis: I have tried really almost every corticosteroid medication on the market, including topical triamcinolone and oral prednisone. However, this product is by far the most effective because it immediately reduces the swelling and inflammations caused by my skin disorder, and disinfects the affected area. It also doesn't cause the weight gain and mood swings of prednisone, so it's considerably safer and milder.
The only unfortunate parts of this medication are that it can be quite greasy, causing mild discomfort, and can cause stinging when applied, especially if the wound is new.
I would highly recommend this to anyone struggling with their dermatological problem.

clobetasol for Atopic Dermatitis: I had poison ivy for three months and had been to the Doctor 3 times and had shots and put on steroids and nothing worked. They put me on clobetasol and within a week it cleared it up. I was amazed and I kept the box so that if I get it again I will definitely use this cream again. Wonderful.

clobetasol for Atopic Dermatitis: Poison ivy: I've been using the clobetasol gel for canker sores on my mouth for years! I put some on as soon as one starts to develop and after a couple of applications (especially before bed) they do not develop. All of my family and friends that get canker sores also use it with the same success that I have!

clobetasol for Lichen Sclerosus: My obstetrician/gynecologist cured the vaginal lichen sclerosis by surgically using extra skin. Still, I have to use the ointment 2x a week on the anal skin to keep the area from pain, itching and bleeding. On other days, since it is not recommended to use too often, I use raw shea butter, with emphasis on "raw."

Olux (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: This has worked inside my ears very well. It's not been effective for me on my scalp or back, but works great for my ears!

Olux-E (clobetasol) for Atopic Dermatitis: I was prescribed Olux-E for Psorisis of the scalp. I made an appointment with a dermatologist because I was embarrassed by the flakes and condition of my scalp. Symptoms were cut in half after two days of use and gone in four. I can wear black again! It still itches a bit but the flakes are gone. Couldn't be happier. It is a topical steroid so I'm going to stop using and keep some on hand for the occasional flare up.
So impressed. THANK YOU!

Clobex (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: I have had moderate and sometimes severe plaque and guttate psoriasis for 16 years, using clobetasol (clobex) for 14. Clobex is the only thing that can eliminate my psoriasis almost completely. It is a very effective drug, but I feel I really should warn people of the devastating effects that can occur if the drug is applied continuously. When using clobex or any other strong topical corticosteroid, you are supposed to use it for no more than 2 weeks, then take a break I believe should be between 2 and 3 weeks. I made the mistake of not doing that. I used it continuously because I wanted to be clear. Now, my skin is paper thin. Nearly every vein is visible, and I break blood vessels constantly, and I have stretch marks everywhere.

clobetasol for Dermatitis: I had two areas on the front of my right leg that had a varicose vein that itched constantly and as a result I had started to break the skin from the scratching. After applying Clobetasol Propionate Ointment USP, 0.05% the itching stopped immediately and after two weeks of application, once per day, the condition cleared up even the varicose vein. Amazing stuff!

clobetasol for Lichen Sclerosus: Finally relief. Just wish that I could use it everyday. I have noticed though, that even on my 20 days off, each month the itching is less than before.

Olux (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: The only really effective remedy for my scalp psoriasis. I used Scalpicin but it turned my white hair yellow-ish and I had to keep using it almost every day. Olux for three days and my scalp is clear and not itchy for 2-3 weeks!

Clobex (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: I got psoriasis in March after a strep infection. I probably had 1,000 spots on my legs, a few spots on my scalp and arms and chest, but my legs were horrible. My doctor gave me some samples of Clobex spray and after 1 week my Psoriasis is 80% gone. He said I need to go in a mega tan bed for 15 minutes and take 8,000 IU of Vitamin D3 and take zinc, so doing all that I am so thrilled with the results. I would recommend Clobex to anyone - pricey but so worth it.

Clobex (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: After a very bad breakout from a strep infection, this was the only thing that stopped the itch! After using this twice a day for a week (along with UV treatments), I started seeing my psoriasis clear up. And the spray is so much easier to apply.

clobetasol for Psoriasis: Awesome product!!! According to my dermalogist, I had a severe case of psoriasis on the hands, feet, knees and elbows a total of 7% of my body area. All cleared up except the front of the feet within 3 weeks, so down to 2.5% in 6 weeks. The doctor had explained that it would take longer on the feet and I'm ok with it... I love the results... the price however is another story. I don't have insurance and one bottle of the spray is $400 help!!!

Olux (clobetasol) for Dermatitis: Olux is a mousse that is massaged into the psoriasis on the scalp. After using this 2x per day for approximately 3 wks I no longer am using T-Gel 3x a week. I'm back to using my old shampoo. No itching or flaking of the scalp. It's so easy to use, too.

clobetasol for Dermatitis: I have excema that will randomly occur only on my palm, fingers or toes. I fought with it for years and never found any relief until I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed Clobetasol Propionate. I apply a thin layer at bedtime during outbreaks and my symptoms are gone overnight if I apply the medicine in time. If not then it takes a couple of days but this is the only medication I've found that relieves my symptoms!

Clobex (clobetasol) for Psoriasis: Hello,
I've been prescribed Clobex Spray and have used it for about a week and a half now, (religiously). The psoriasis on my left elbow has completely disappeared and now the area is a very light shade of pink and is slowly starting to return to the shade of brown like the rest of my skin. My lower left leg on the front spot is a bit more stubborn but it is clearing up. I have two spots on my right front leg that are starting to disappear now (they have been the worst two spots). I like it.
