ask: Can you use Clobetasol Propionate cream on your vagina?

From what I've been reading, no. I believe it's for treating skin conditions like psoriasis.

Quote:

FOR DERMATOLOGIC USE ONLY

NOT FOR OPHTHALMIC, ORAL, OR INTRAVAGINAL USE

Clobetasol propionate cream (emollient) should not be used in the treatment of rosacea or perioral dermatitis, and should not be used on the face, groin, or axillae.

Information for Patients: Patients using topical corticosteroids should receive the following information and instructions:

1. This medication is to be used as directed by the physician. It is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.
2. This medication should not be used for any disorder other than that for which it was prescribed.
3. The treated skin area should not be bandaged, otherwise covered, or wrapped so as to be occlusive unless direct- ed by the physician.
4. Patients should report any signs of local adverse reactions to the physician.
5. Patients should inform their physicians that they are using clobetasol propionate if surgery is contemplated.
6. This medication should not be used on the face, underarms or groin areas.
7. As with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, contact the physician.

Hi Anon,

I'm wondering what you were wanting to use this cream for (as it sounds like it is not appropriate to use on your vagina). What symptoms are you experiencing, as we can help you find a better alternative treatment.

Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm not sure. However, my Ob/GYN did prescribe it to me for that very use. Seems to help. Not sure what it's helping since my doc didn't think that was worth sharing with me even though I have a BS in biochemistry. I'd say if it was prescribed to you, then take it.

I was also prescribed the same treatment for a vulvovaginal issue. Supposedly, it works.

I also have been prescribed this medication for vaginal itching and it seems to work . Not for long term use though.

I was given clobetasol by my ob/gyn for extreme viginal itching.My Dr explained to me that I had thinning tissue that was causing the itching.He said this is usualy a condition seen in older women not someone my age.I was 35 at the time.the treatment did work and I hav not had a problem since then.He said the treatment would help to thicken the thinning tissue.It worked wonders in about4 days and I finished the two weeks he prescibed.

Ok today My OBGYN prescribed Clobetasol Propionate cream. I have tired all the medication to treat vaginal itching there is. I hope his works now.

I was prescribed this treatment for a condition that is usually seen in older women . My Doctor said it was unusual for a 34 year old to have thin skin of the labial area but that is what i had .He could tell just by examination and symptoms .My reason for going was extreme itching of my labial skin . It was driving me insane.He prescribed the cream for ten days and I have to say I loved him for it . It worked ! After just three days the itching was completely gone and everything was back to normal.
