Clobetasone butyrate is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, insect bites, and nappy rash. It reduces itching, redness, and inflammation.

Clobetasone butyrate works by mimicking natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands. It suppresses the release of inflammatory chemicals in the body, thereby reducing swelling, redness, and itching associated with skin conditions.

Clobetasone butyrate should generally not be used on the face unless prescribed by a doctor. Using it on the face can worsen certain skin conditions and lead to side effects like thinning of the skin.

Common side effects include burning or stinging sensations, skin redness, dryness, irritation, and thinning of the skin. Prolonged use can cause more severe side effects like skin atrophy, stretch marks, and increased susceptibility to infections.
