I use Clobetesol too and it seems to help a little.
I use clobetasol on my scalp and CereVe anti-itch moisturizer on legs and arms. Both stop the itch.
I have used Clobetesol for my most recent flare. I decided since I had both Derma Smooth and Clobetesol, I would use the Clobetesol as it as not as messy to apply.
I'm not sure about that. Rubbing or scratching, our fingers have bacteria on them (no matter how clean we think we are( so the risk of infection is present. No, the physicians may not live with it but they are focused on providing treatment so it is important to ask questions and hear their recommendations.
