Is Clobetasol Propionate Advisable For Spots On The Face While Having Eczema?
Hi I have been using Augmented Betamethasone Dipropionate Ointment on a few spots on my face due to eczema (friend gave me to try because it worked for her). So I asked my doctor if she could prescribe me some, she ended up prescribing me Clobetasol Propionate ointment instead. When looking at how to use it says DO NOT use on the face...why is that? THe Augmented stuff has not done anything bad to my face except help clear it up will this stuff do the same or will it change color of skin or what...freaking me out a little bit because it would be used in very noticeable spots. Doctor knew where I needed to use it...will it be OK?
