Description

Dermovate cream and ointment are used in short courses to treat severe forms of inflammatory skin disorders when weaker corticosteroids have not been effective, such as:

• eczema
• psoriasis (excluding widespread plaque psoriasis)
• lichen planus
• discoid lupus erythematosus
• Other skin conditions which do not respond satisfactorily to less potent steroids

Dermovate cream and ointment both contain the active ingredient clobetasol propionate 0.05%, which is a type of medicine called a topical corticosteroid. Clobetasol is a very potent (strong) corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation in the skin.
