Clobex Dermal Shampoo is a brand name for a medication containing the active ingredient clobetasol propionate, which is a potent corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including psoriasis and severe inflammatory scalp conditions such as scalp psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis.
This shampoo is specifically formulated to be applied to the scalp. It works by reducing inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with these conditions.
To use Clobex Dermal Shampoo, follow these steps:
1. Wet your hair and scalp thoroughly.
2. Apply a small amount of the shampoo to the affected areas of the scalp.
3. Gently massage the shampoo into the scalp to create a lather.
4. Leave the shampoo on the scalp for a few minutes to allow it to work.
5. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly from the scalp and hair.
6. Repeat the process if necessary.
Clobex Dermal Shampoo is typically used once daily for up to 4 weeks. After the symptoms improve, the frequency of use may be reduced to twice weekly.
It is important to avoid getting the shampoo into the eyes, mouth, or nose, as it may cause irritation. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water.
Common side effects of Clobex Dermal Shampoo may include temporary burning, stinging, itching, or irritation of the scalp. These side effects usually resolve on their own and are not cause for concern unless they persist or worsen.
