Precautions and warnings: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Clobetasol if: • You have previously had an allergic reaction with another steroid • You are applying the cream under a tight bandage, including a diaper for the child.

Use on the face should be limited to 5 days. Do not use dressings or bandages on the face where the cream is applied.

How to use Clobetasol: Usually once or twice a day, apply a thin layer of Clobetasol. This may decrease as your skin improves, or stop when it improves.
