Clobetasone butyrate is suitable for use on sensitive areas such as the face and skin folds. It has a favorable safety profile when compared to more potent corticosteroids. The medication is typically used for short-term management of flare-ups. Clobetasone butyrate is available in cream and ointment formulations. It provides effective symptom relief while minimizing systemic absorption. The drug is often chosen for mild to moderate dermatological conditions. Its balanced potency makes it widely used in clinical dermatology.
