The medication is considered to be the average effective corticosteroid type.

Since Aclovate-Alclometasone Propionate is the skin cream especially meant for the external usage, it is recommended to be applied or rubbed on the effective area of the outer skin surface only. It is not advised for use on the face, groin, and under-arms or for diaper rash unless otherwise advised by the doctor. The recommended method of using this ointment can give remarkable results hence before applying this medication on the affected area, wash and dry hands, clean and dry the affected area.

Then a thin layer of cream is supposed to be applied and rubber gently until the cream is absorbed completely in the skin. The wound should not be bandaged after applying this cream. Hands should be thoroughly washed clean after every application.

The treatment varies depending on intensity of the affected skin area but on an average the standard dose which is recommended is 2 to 3 applications daily or as directed by the physician. This medication may be applied around the eyes if need be but with special care as it should never enter in to the eyes; it may worsen or lead to glaucoma.
