About Cure 0.05% Lotion

Cure 0.05% Lotion 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. Cure 0.05% Lotion can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.

Cure 0.05% Lotion comprises Clobetasol, 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, Cure 0.05% Lotion aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

Always use the right amount of Cure 0.05% Lotion as advised by the doctor or pharmacist. It would be best to use Cure 0.05% Lotion regularly to get the maximum benefit.

  • Change in lifestyle and improving nutrition can reduce the causes of burning sensation and provide relief.
  • Your doctor may suggest nerve block injections as it is related to sensation in the skin.

  • Avoid postures that put much pressure on the body area where stinging is felt.

  • 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.

  • Use gentle alcohol-free skin care products. Avoid products that might irritate your skin such as exfoliants, astringents and toners.
