halobetasol propionate has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions. Clotrimazole exerts its action primarily by damaging the permeability barrier in the fungal cytoplasmic membrane. Halobetasol is a super-high potency corticosteroid that activates natural substances in the skin to reduce inflammation. It's used to treat skin conditions like eczema, plaque psoriasis, dermatitis, and rashes. Clotrimazole is an azole antifungal that fluidizes phospholipid membranes. It's more effective against hyphae and pseudomycelia of Candida albicans than yeast cells.
