You can buy clobetasol cream but only with a doctors prescription.

Clobetasol cream is not available over the counter without a doctors prescription.

Once your doctor has prescribed clobetasol cream then you can purchase it from the pharmacy with the prescription or if you have health insurance it may cover the cost.

Clobetasol propionate is an ointment you can rub on your skin to treat eczema and psoriasis.

It reduces swelling, redness, itching and rashes caused by these skin conditions.

It's a type of topical steroid medication.

Brand names of the clobetasol cream are Cormax, Embeline and Temovate.

Clobetasol cream is much stronger than other steroid creams such as hydrocortisone 1% strength.

Most people only need to use clobetasol 1 or 2 times a day for 1 week.

A doctor may suggest that you use it for longer than 1 week.

Clobetasol starts to work after a few days.

You can use it for up to 4 weeks.

Clobetasol (including scalp treatment and shampoo) is a very strong steroid.

If you have applied clobetasol to your skin, wait at least 30 minutes before using another product, like a moisturizer.
