- Repeated short courses of the Clobetasol Propionate may be used to control exacerbations.
- A less potent preparation should be used if continuous steroid treatment is necessary.
- In vary resistant lesions, especially where there is hyperkeratosis, the antiinflammatory effect of Clobetasol Propionate can be enhanced by occluding the treatment area with polythene film.
