Hence Clo B should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Clo B and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.

How does Clo B work?

Dr. Haleema Yezdani MBBS , General Physician

Clo B contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Clo B prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.
