For Lichen Planus "I was prescribed and tried triamcinolone acetonide for several weeks, which had little effect. I had a previous bout of alopecia areata and still had a little Clobex left. After reading a lot of information and just a couple of days before my next appointment, I tried a little on a few of the spots on my arm, and they immediately started to look better. The PA that was treating me was impressed enough to give me a box of OLUX-E foam samples to try, and the clearing effect was immediate, showing major improvement in just days."

For Dermatitis "My doctor prescribed Temovate (Clobetasol 0.5%) for rash and itch caused by poison ivy exposure. I got very quick results. The morning after applying this cream, the symptoms began to decrease. In a day or two, it was completely gone."

Clobetasol topical 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 topical for Psoriasis "Began use of this medication upon receipt in the mail. Only a few doses were necessary when effectiveness was noted. No side effects noted throughout the treatment period. Dermatologist will review the site at the next appointment."

Clobetasol topical for Psoriasis "The only really effective remedy for my scalp psoriasis. I used Scalpicin, but it turned my white hair yellowish, 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!"

For Eczema "The cream works great on my eczema. However, this past year has been a little taxing on my budget, as I have had 6 tubes of clobetasol go bad before opening. I have had them turn to goo, unable to use. The co-pays are getting out of control, as I have to pay for a new one and not get it replaced."

For Atopic Dermatitis "My dyshidrotic eczema has been fairly constant for the past decade. Prior, it was caused by food prep (was a cook), now it just is for no apparent reason. I have used betamethasone and Cordran tape, with limited results. Dyshidrotic eczema requires strong medicine. My condition gets pretty chronic with peeling dry patches that often have persistent, painful cracking. Within a couple of weeks of intentional use, the condition gets much better. It never goes completely away, but is much more manageable. I apply at night most days, if it has a flare-up, then several times a day. I'm not sure of all of the different ways you can get clobetasol, but I use ointment. If you need a medicine this strong, be thankful it exists! It gets it done!"

Clobetasol topical for Eczema "Awful. I have eczema, but my hands are very sensitive. My hands usually bleed and are scaly. Well, this just made everything worse. I cried because the pain was so bad. I switched to Opzelura, and my eczema is barely noticeable!!! STAY AWAY."

For Dermatological Disorders "I had this incredibly itchy rash on my right shin. It became raised and beet red. Dermatologist D.O. (only derm around me) had no idea, nor did my PCP or rheumatologist. It went on for months. It took the Derm's D.O.'s PA to finally diagnose me with chronic venous insufficiency. It wasn't just a rash on the outside. It was coming from the inside. The veins in my legs were having great difficulty pumping my blood back up my legs. I elevate a lot, getting my legs above my heart. Who knew that a rash, the itchiest I've ever had, was related to my blood flow! I think there are others out there with the same thing that's going undiagnosed. Clobetasol and elevation are the only tools right now to deal with this. My insurance just took Clobetasol off its formulary. Now I have to pony up the cash every month to keep me from wanting to cut the skin off. Thank God for Clobetasol and a really good PA who finally diagnosed it!"

Clobetasol topical for Dermatitis "I've always had dermatitis on my scalp and face, but the rashes on my body started out as allergic dermatitis after it reacted to an antibiotic called Vancomycin. But then even after all my antibiotics, the rashes kept getting worse and worse. I got a biopsy done, and the results were that I had the psoriasis form of dermatitis, which is similar to psoriasis. At first, the dermatologist prescribed Clobex, but it only worked on my arms. I still use the Clobex shampoo for my scalp. After that, the dermatologist told me to try Olux. I've been using Olux for a couple of weeks now, and my body is clearing up, especially my back and thighs."

For Eczema "It's worked well on my nummular eczema. I know I can only use it for 2 weeks, but how long do I have to wait before I can use it again? Also, this drug is expensive, but my pharmacist suggested a smaller tube, which saved me money. I mean, if you can only use it for a short time, why buy a lot?"

Clobetasol topical for Dermatitis "Olux is a mousse that is massaged into the psoriasis on the scalp. After using this 2x per day for approximately 3 weeks, 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."

For Lichen Planus "This stuff (clobetasol) is absolutely worthless for my condition, for one thing, the dosage 0.05 is not strong enough, and my dermatologist claims that she can't get it any higher, but that is not what the Internet states. I'll give her one more chance to find something that works for me, or I'm OUT!!! There are several more drugs that are available. I give clobetasol a big fat '0'. I've been suffering with this rubbish for almost two years."

Clobetasol topical for Psoriasis "It wasn't prescribed to me in the U.S., mostly in Europe. I like the cream better than the ointment. Compared to the other treatments in its class, it doesn't cause depigmentation, and it's very fast absorbed. I only use clobetasol liquid for the scalp, and it works fine."

For Eczema "It worked okay at first, and yes, it can help take the edge off when you are suffering from eczema. However, my symptoms are now worse because of this medication, and I would recommend anyone with eczema to avoid this toxic medication."

Clobetasol topical for Eczema "Clobex spray has helped a lot, but it is now out of stock, and I desperately need it. Please bring back the product. My eczema is dependent on the spray, and it being out of stock is driving me insane."

For Psoriasis "Awesome product! According to my dermatologist, 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 explained that it would take longer on the feet, and I'm okay 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!"

Clobetasol topical 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."

For Seborrheic Dermatitis "I tried this topical medication on my scalp for 5 days. No reaction the first two days, then extreme itching day 3, followed by a horrible, on-fire burning sensation. Upside - did not have to wash hair every day. Was switched to fluocinolide and have had no issues. Downside - have to wash hair daily due to an oil-based medication."

For Atopic Dermatitis "This treatment is very potent and was very effective for me! I think it is significantly stronger than normal steroids, so I never used it for the eczema on my face. However, for the discoid eczema that I've been dealing with for around a year on my hands, arms, and legs, it has been very effective at tackling any breakouts or severe redness and scaliness. For me, I can normally see the effects overnight, but I find it to be most effective if used for 3-5 days (making sure to use emollients meanwhile) and then to stop for a week or whenever next needed. Definitely recommend if a weaker steroid is not working!"

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!"

For Dermatological Disorders "I had this strange itchy condition on my legs and sometimes forearms. The dermatologist gave this to me after I tried over-the-counter that didn't work. I don't think this works much better than the Neosporin 'cream' (not gel). The Neosporin gives me immediate relief, it just doesn't last long. The jury is out with this stuff. I put it on for the first time last night but still had bouts of itching on the corners of my foot, ankle, thigh, and forearms. I am not sure what is going on with me. I live in California and hike a lot. I get scaly, red, itchy tops of my ankles and slight rashy bumps on my legs. Itches like crazy then will subside. I now have sores from scratching. With all the reviews, I thought I'd get an obvious result of something - I don't feel much different. I still itch. So this isn't much better than my Neosporin cream I use."

Clobetasol topical for Psoriasis "Clobex is in shampoo form. I use that weekly. Need 2 tsp. Lathers up really well. I leave the shampoo on for a few hours, then rinse. This is a great maintenance for me between the spray applications - I apply the spray on wet hair/scalp so it stretches the product more because it's expensive."

For Lichen Planus "I got lichen planus starting this summer season. Biopsy confirmed. I take 2 different blood pressure meds. One a beta-blocker, which I read can cause this. Dermatologist says he has a pill for this. I was supposed to get off the BP meds, and I did for about 2 weeks per med. He says 8 weeks off BP meds. Mom died of a stroke in the ‘90s. So I’m trying again going off metoprolol for 8 weeks. So, I didn’t get the pill because I’m still on BP meds. He asked me about coming back, I told him no, I’ll try again for 8 weeks without BP meds. Metoprolol is an added med for my main blood pressure med, and it does help. So I risk a stroke to try to rid myself of this stuff. Clobetasol 15g tube lasted one week, no help, fluocinolone no help. Used creams about a month. Going to try Emuaid max strength. I did get off my cholesterol med. That did help for the itching, which isn’t as intense as it used to be. CeraVe itch jar cream helps too."

For Dermatitis "I first used Temovate, but then, as prescribed, the clobetasol .01 cream (the .05 lotion didn’t help much). My husband and I are gardeners and hunters and have found this works! I know there are restrictions, which we follow. We have used it periodically for years."
