Inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can sometimes affect the skin on the scalp and cause it to become red, itchy, swollen, and painful. To treat these symptoms, ask your doctor for a prescription to buy Temovate Scalp Lotion or the generic alternative topical medication, Clobetasol Propionate generic. Temovate Scalp Lotion is a very potent topical corticosteroid, so your doctor may prescribe it if you have a severe case of eczema or psoriasis of the scalp, and other medications have not successfully treated your symptoms.

Once you apply Temovate Scalp Lotion to your scalp as directed, the medicine will cause your skin cells to release less inflammatory substances. These substances are part of your immune system, and when your skin is irritated, they cause your blood vessels to dilate, which triggers the uncomfortable symptoms you are experiencing. Because this medication comes in a lotion form, it is easier to apply to the scalp than a cream or thick ointment.

When applied as directed Temovate Scalp Lotion should produce very few side effects if any, and these side effects are usually mild. They may include some scalp stinging, itching, burning, or redness, and thinning of the skin. If you encounter bothersome side effects, talk to your doctor.
