Does Cloworth 0.05% Cream cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are rare with Cloworth 0.05% Cream. Cloworth 0.05% Cream is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat skin conditions, skin reactions, and eczema. However, individuals with hypersensitivity may experience skin reactions. It's important to keep the affected area exposed after application of Cloworth 0.05% Cream to prevent occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressings) that could lead to skin reactions.

Can Cloworth 0.05% Cream be used on children?
Cloworth 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use in children under one year of age. It's also not recommended for use in older children and adolescents as side effects are more common in these groups.

Cloworth 0.05% Cream should only be used under your doctor's guidance, with treatment typically limited to five days, and reviewed weekly.
Can we use Cloworth 0.05% Cream in infections?
Cloworth 0.05% Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent; it's a corticosteroid. It should not be used in infections as it suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of infection worsening. Bacterial infections can become worse if treated with Cloworth 0.05% Cream and left untreated, leading to spreading of the infection. If you experience inflammation or an infected area of skin, consult your doctor immediately for appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Does Cloworth 0.05% Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?

It's important to keep the affected area exposed after application of Cloworth 0.05% Cream to prevent occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressings) that could lead to skin reactions. If not by the medicine itself, sometimes the reactions are also caused by the added excipients with medications. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any skin reactions.
