Can clobetasol be used for shingles?

No.

Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Clobetasol is a steroid cream that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis. While clobetasol may help relieve the itching and inflammation associated with shingles, it will not treat the underlying viral infection. Antiviral medication is necessary to treat shingles.
