Use and absorption of topical corticosteroids may sometimes produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) suppression and/or manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome in some patients. Clobetasol propionate may suppress the HPA axis at doses as low as 2 g/day. Conditions that increase systemic absorption include applying corticosteroids over large surface areas, prolonged use, or use in areas where the skin is broken. Clobetasol propionate should not be used with occlusive dressings. Patients taking large doses of this corticosteroid should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression and manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome. If a doctor deems necessary he may change your medication or prescribe a different dosage. Topical corticosteroids should be used with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus. An escalation of diabetes may occur when using a topical corticosteroid. Use of topical corticosteroids delay healing of skin ulcers in diabetic patients.
