A member asked:

Wife had allergic prescription to new face cleanser; red, bumpy, blotchy skin. can we use clobetasol propionate from past skin condition or is that not for face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Facial Cortisone: Clobetasol is too strong for the face. You can use prescription Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) lotion, Cloderm or cordran. You can also use otc Cortaid or cortisone 10.
