Clobetasol is a steroid - used in allergic, contact dermatitis conditions, psoriasis. If there is concern about infection, then a topical antibiotic like mupirocin should be used or even possibly oral antibiotics. Steroids helps control the inflammation not infection . Call you doctor/get a second opinion about an antibiotic if it is not getting better. If throbbing go to the ER today
