About Clovue Cream
Clovue Cream belongs to a class of topical corticosteroid medications. It is used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin). Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. Clovue Cream can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Clovue Cream comprises Clobetasol Propionate, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, Clovue Cream aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.
Clovue Cream is available on prescription only. Always use the right amount of cream/lotion as advised by the doctor or pharmacist. It would be best to use this medicine regularly to get the maximum benefit. When Clovue Cream is applied to the skin, some persons experience a burning or stinging sensation for a few minutes. After a few days of use, this will no longer occur. While applying, make sure it does not come in contact with the eye. If Clovue Cream accidentally comes in contact with eyes, rinse with warm water thoroughly.
Clovue Cream may not be suitable for some people. Inform a healthcare professional before using this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Clobetasol Propionate, any of the ingredients, or any other medicine. Do not use Clovue Cream to treat acne, rosacea (facial flushing on and around the nose), perioral dermatitis (red or scaly rashes around the mouth), anogenital pruritis (itching around the anus or genitals), itchy, broken, or infected skin which is not inflamed, and widespread plaque psoriasis (except single lesions). Do not use this medication without consulting the doctor if you are trying to get pregnant, are already pregnant, or are breastfeeding. The appropriate dose for children is determined by their age. You can seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

How Clovue Cream Works
Storage
- Avoid extreme heat or cold, like hot showers or cold winds, to prevent worsening skin discomfort.
- Cool compresses: To reduce itch, redness, and swelling.
- Avoid irritants like harsh chemicals or allergens to prevent worsening skin discomfort.
- If you have severe itching, burning, or blistering seek medical attention.
- Keep your skin clean by gently washing your face two times daily and after sweating. Choose a mild and non-abrasive cleanser.
- Use gentle alcohol-free skin care products. Avoid products that might irritate your skin such as exfoliants, astringents and toners.
- Acne may also occur due to oil in the hair. Thus, if you have oily hair, shampoo more frequently than you do now and keep your hair away from face.
- Keep your hands off your face as touching face throughout the day might worsen acne. Also, do not pick, squeeze or pop acne as it will prolong the healing process and increase the risk of dark spots and scarring.
- Avoid tanning by applying a broad spectrum sunscreen and wearing sun-protective clothing when outdoors.
- Mild hair follicle inflammation often heals on its own without needing treatment.
- You can apply a warm saltwater or vinegar solution to the affected area with a washcloth, or use over-the-counter antibiotics, oatmeal lotion, or hydrocortisone cream for relief.
- Avoid making the affected area worse by not shaving, scratching, or wearing tight clothes.
- Apply a warm compress to the area 3-4 times a day for 15-20 minutes to help speed up healing.
- Do not scratch, squeeze, or pop any bumps, as this may lead to infection or other problems.
