A member asked:
I have a small incident of alopecia areata and was prescribed a taro clobetasol topical solution, clobetasol propionate 0.05%. ive been using it twice a day for six weeks so far but have seen little results. when does this medication start working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your dermatologist may recommend continuing to 8 weeks or even 12 weeks, but it would not be unreasonable to call him/her and explain that the medication you are applying faithfully as directed does not seem to be having much of an effect.
