Instructions for applying clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05%

Apply clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Apply only enough to cover the affected areas. Clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% should not be applied to the groin, armpits, or other skin fold areas.

To use clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05%:

1. Before applying clobetasol propionate foam ,0.05% for the first time, break the tiny plastic piece at the base of the can's rim by gently pushing back (away from the piece)on the nozzle.
2. Turn the can upside down. Push the button to squirt a small amount of clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% into the cap of the can, onto a saucer or other cool surface,or your affected skin area. This amount should be no more than 1 1/2 capfuls, about the size of a golf ball. Do not squirt clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% directly onto your hands (unless your hands are the affected areas), because the foam will begin to melt right away on contact with your warm skin. If your fingers are warm, rinse them in cold water first. (Be sure to dry them thoroughly before handling the foam.) If the can seems warm or the foam seems runny, run the can under cold water.
3. Using your fingertips, gently massage clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% into the affected areas until the foam disappears. If you are treating areas with hair such as the scalp, move any hair away so that the foam can be applied directly to the affected areas.Repeat the process until the affected areas are treated. Keep the foam away from your eyes, as it will sting and may cause eye problems if there is frequent contact with your eyes. If the foam gets in your eyes, rinse them well with cold water right away. If the stinging continues, contact your doctor right away. 
4. Wash your hands after applying clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05%. Throwaway any of the unused medicine that you squirted out of the can.
