Does Clobetasol Help To Cure Folliculitis?
I started using clobetasol a few days ago for psoriasis on my legs. I got a leg wax yesterday and now have pretty bad Folliculitis. May I continue to use the clobetasol? Can you recomend any home/OTC remedies other then warm compresses and Neosporin to help speed recovery? Thanks!!

Hi,
Clobetasol will not help you to get rid of folliculitis. I would recommend you to take a course of oral antibiotics if possible however you can try applying local antibiotics like Soframycin, Neosporin etc., first. Please keep the skin clean and open.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
