Abstract

The most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of a variety of dermatoses are Topical corticosteroids (TC). These medications are approved for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of dermatologic disorders due to their powerful symptom-relieving impact. Clobetasol propionate (CP) is the most popular (TC) used to relieve itching, redness, and oedema caused by a variety of skin disorders. Anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, and vasoconstrictive characteristics are all present in it. CP works by binding to cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors and activating glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene expression, resulting in the production of anti-inflammatory proteins while suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators. The formulation is free from known contact allergens, such as propylene glycol, short-chain alcohols, and sorbitol-based emulsifiers, and has demonstrated hypoallergenic effects. The efficacy, safety, and clinical experience of utilizing CP 0.025% cream for the treatment of various dermatologic disorders are discussed in this case series.
