A member asked:
Are there any over-the-counter medications similar to clobetasol propionate for excema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing that strong: Clobetasol is a very potent topical steroid and can cause atrophy of the skin if overused, so it and medications of similar strength need to be supervised and prescribed by your physician.
