For Eczema "Clobetasol cleared my skin in 4 days. This medication is a miracle for me. I have dyshidrotic eczema and atopic dermatitis. The only places I break out are on my hands severely and my feet mildly. As you can guess, keeping my hands medicated and moisturized has always been a challenge. I manage a restaurant so my poor hands suffer. I have tried numerous steroids with no luck. Within 3 days, my hands go from normal to swollen, dry, cracked skin with bumpy fluid-filled itchy blisters that break open, bleed, and cause the itch to intensify. I wake in the night itching so bad, I cry. I know this is TMI, but the reason I'm describing what I have so well is in case anyone with my symptoms can relate and possibly find a solution. All healed over here!"

For Psoriasis "I've used several other medications for my scalp psoriasis. Every shampoo I tried besides clobetasol would make my hair brittle and dry. It would fall out by the handfuls, you could see spots on my head where it was so thin my scalp was showing. When I first used clobetasol shampoo, I could feel the difference. It makes my hair soft and shiny, and best of all, my hair is starting to grow back."
