Not for long term use..... The steroids effect, is the cure for short term relief..........

Clobetasol propionate is a medicine that's used on the skin to treat swelling, itching and irritation. It can help with skin problems such as: eczema, including contact dermatitis. psoriasis.......


Probably best to stay away from steroid creams.They are only available on prescription to treat those conditions you mentioned.

Did I mention they cause redness of the skin as well? Gbabakwa. Run �‍♀️

Goodluck getting a steroid prescription, from our NHS GP's, that are refusing to see patients (they would rather have a 2 minutes phone conversation)..........

This may be the same cream someone advised my spouse to buy to treat a skin condition and when after reading the reviews, was mortified. Some said the results were instant but the side effect was worse than the problem. We just stuck to the steriod prescribed by the GP.

Audavate.
Of course it has its side effects and we were warned. We were also given directions on how to use and how often. Also we were told how to withdraw treatment.
My understanding is that with this OTC cream, the composition of some of the active ingredients is excessive and also there's often no direction on usage.

The irony is that later Human rights will say you can't seperate parent and child and end up giving parents and putting parents worse case on a 10 year path


Even today I got another update on this at the hospital where I took my wife to and we were on some paper work for my child. My dear, let's just take each day as it comes and give God thanks in all things, that's the focus, enjoy the rest of the beautiful day o jare.

Contains clobetasol which is a steroid. Not to slight you , lexus but this cream is bad news.
Steroids cause paper-thin skin, darkening of skin in patches, diabetes, Hypertension, weak bones, decreased immunity, frequent falls, weight gain especially face and abdomen. You may want to stay away from this.

Interesting point here which has made me do a search online. I have checked but I haven't seen were the quantity of clobetasol in this cream is listed like steroidal creams in the UK. The reason might be the makers of this cream don't even know how to calculate and give a figure to how much clobetasol they put in it grin. It seems the makers of this cream mixed random quantities of emollients, steroids and all other dodgy stuff to make a jack of all trades cream that will do more harm than good. There is a reason why over the counter steroid creams in the UK are only available in small tubes and strictly regulated, this one is available in a massive tub from the local African store which isn't a regulated pharmacy.

Avoid.
