Expert advice

• Put on a tiny coating only on the area that is hurting.
• Unless your doctor tells you to, don't use it for more than 1–2 weeks at a time.
• Don't put tight bandages over the area that was treated.
• Keep the area clean and dry and take care of your skin.
• If your symptoms don't get better in 7 to 14 days, see your doctor.

Side effects

• Feeling like you're burning or stinging
• Itching or red spots
• Irritation or dryness
• If used for a long time or in the wrong way:
• Thinning of the skin (atrophy)
• Marks from stretching
• Change in the hue of the skin
• Making the infection worse or hiding it
• Higher chance of antibiotic resistance
• If you have a bad reaction or irritation, see a doctor.

How It Works

• Clobetasol propionate helps with redness, itching, and swelling.
• Neomycin eliminates the germs that cause subsequent infections.
• Miconazole stops fungi from growing by hurting the cell membrane of the fungi.
• Together, they quickly ease symptoms and stop infections from spreading.

Medicines interaction

• Topical application makes systemic medication interactions unlikely.
• If used with it, it may be absorbed more easily:
• Other steroids that can be put on the skiN
• Dressing that blocks
• Don't use any other medicinal creams on the same region unless your doctor tells you to.

How to Use
