What Is Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Foam?

Clobetasol propionate foam is a prescription topical corticosteroid classified as super-high potency, the strongest category of topical steroids. It works by reducing the inflammation, redness, scaling, and itching associated with certain skin conditions. The foam formulation spreads easily and is especially useful on hair-bearing areas such as the scalp. Because of its potency, it is intended for short-term use on limited areas of the body under a provider's direction.
