ALTERNATE!: Then you will have the benefit of both ant-fungal and anti-inflammatory actions that these creams provide! Hope this helps! Dr Z

You have two: different steroid creams. I suggest you use the one that was prescribed last.

Both Are Steroids: Clobetasol is a class I super potent topical steroid. Fluodinonide is a class II high potency topical steroid. They are quite similar in there effectiveness. I would contact the doctor that gave them to you and ask which one you use or how to use them. Your doctor may want you to begin with clobetasol and then transition to fluocinonide as the rash improves. These creams do not treat fungus.
