Specializes in Internal Medicine

Depends on condition: Clobetasol is a strong topical cortisone. There are comparable creams, but it is important to know the condition that the cream is being used for and on what part of the body. If your concern is cost, i would recommend you talk with your physician for an appropriate substitute. Hope all is well with you.
