Can Clobetasol Be Used For Redness And Itchiness In The Skin?
I have some leftover Clobetasol Proplonate Cream in my medicine cabinet and wonder if this is the cream my son s pediatrician gave him about 8 months ago for poison ivy? Cleaning in our yard from the recent hurricane, he has gotten into something and it is itchy red and swollen.... just trying to make it to tomorrow when I can get to dr.... I ve done oral Benadryl and even Benadryl cream nothing is helping...
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of redness and itching. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
