Eumovate is a steroid medication that is used to treat a number of skin conditions including eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. It is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. These help to reduce inflammation in skin conditions.

Ointment and cream versions of Eumovate are available. The active ingredient is clobetasone butyrate. It is considered to be a corticosteroid that is moderately potent.

Eumovate reduces the swelling and irritation associated with skin conditions such as:

• Atopic eczema
• Allergic contact dermatitis
• Irritant contact dermatitis
• Psoriasis
• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Thick skin rash due to excessive scratching to relieve itching
• An eruption of hard nodules on the skin with intense itching
• Discoid lupus erythematosus
• Erythroderma characterized by intense and widespread reddening of the skin
• Severe reactions to insect stings and bites

Eumovate should be used in alongside your usual moisturiser in order to effectively manage you skin condition. 

Please note that topical corticosteroids are not a panacea for eczema and psoriasis, in that it will only help to manage flare-ups and exacerbations. 

Clobetasone Butyrate 0.05%, a topical corticosteroid, is the active ingredient in Eumovate Cream & Ointment. Eumovate is applied directly to the skin to provide relief. Allergic reaction or over-sensitivity of the skin is the usual cause of skin inflammation. Eumovate works by acting inside the skin cells to reduce the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. This results in the reduction of the swelling, itching, and redness, which help prevent scratching that can further irritate the skin.

Clobetasone acts inside the skin cells, stopping the release of the inflammatory substances. This results in the reduction of the swelling, itching, and redness, and helps in the prevention of scratching that will further irritate the skin.

Eumovate cream is best used for the treatment of weepy or moist skin.
