Drug Description
Betamethasone topical is used to help relieve redness, itching, swelling, or other discomfort caused by skin conditions. Betamethasone foam is used for scalp problems. Topical betamethasone is used to treat skin conditions that involve inflammation and itchiness, including plaque psoriasis. Topical betamethasone belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. Topical corticosteroids may help reduce inflammation in your skin by calming the immune system's defence cells (white blood cells). They may also stop these cells from releasing substances that cause inflammation. These medicines may also narrow blood vessels where they are applied, which may help to reduce swelling.
