Dermovate ointment is used to treat a variety of skin conditions that require strong and effective treatment to relieve inflammation, itching, and redness. This medication primarily contains clobetasol propionate, a type of corticosteroid that works to reduce swelling and inflammation in the skin. Dermovate is usually prescribed to treat chronic or acute skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, as it helps control symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening.
Dermovate can also be used to treat localized skin infections that have not responded to weaker medications. It is also used to treat rashes resulting from various irritations and to relieve the symptoms of skin allergies when needed.
