• Eczema: Betnovate Cream is most commonly used for eczema flare-ups - especially when your symptoms don't respond to other treatments. It's beneficial for reducing inflammation and itching.
• Psoriasis: Inflamed and thick psoriasis plaques are challenging to treat, but Betnovate Cream will reduce inflammation and scaling.
• Dermatitis: Your doctor might also prescribe Betnovate Cream for dermatitis, as it can relieve redness and itching.
• Other Conditions: The treatment can also relieve the symptoms of insect bite reactions and conditions like lichen planus.

Age Restrictions

In most cases, Betnovate Cream is suitable for adults and children over one-year-old. However, if you're using the treatment on young children, please follow your doctor's instructions carefully and monitor for any reactions.

How to Use Betnovate Ointment

Betnovate is a steroid medication, and it's always best to use it with caution. Following these guidelines ensures you apply it correctly:

1. Wash your hands with soap and water before applying the ointment.
2. Cover the affected area with a thin layer of cream - but use it sparingly.
3. Rub the cream or ointment into the skin it's absorbed.
4. Wash your hands again - unless the cream is treating them.

When to Avoid Using Betnovate Ointment

If any of the following apply, please avoid applying Betnovate Cream and seek advice from a medical professional:

Precautions

While some forms of Betnovate Cream can be beneficial for young children, it's a potent corticosteroid, and you should always exercise caution when treating skin conditions in young people. It's also advisable to seek medical advice if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

While the ointment is usually safe to use alongside other medicines, please tell the pharmacist about any prescribed or over-the-counter treatments you're currently using.
