No, Clobex alone should not be used for ringworm because it is a fungal infection of the skin caused by fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum and Clobex is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Clobex should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Clobex and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.
