Betaderm (betamethasone) "I have anxiety induced diarrhea. Some days I have had to use the toilet over 5 times. I'm very careful when trying to empty my bowels. I gave myself a prolapsed hemorrhoid once. (They hurt!) Unfortunately squeezing 3-5 times a day I develop small hemorrhoids. Sometimes they are just itchy. When I don't get enough sleep, am anxious and not eating enough it's much worse. "Fire in the hole!" I have to sit on a pillow. I was prescribed Betaderm 0.1% and Cr/Clotrimaderm 1:1 mixed topical cream. Without this cream I would not be able to function. No side effects. It shrinks and removes all hemorrhoid's within days. I just need to apply it after using the toilet when they flare up. Though it does not remove the pain. I just deal with it."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I used Betamethasone Dipropionate ointment Augmented 0.05% for 13 days and it cleared my chest rash and hives on arms. However, after I stopped using it I continued to have some side effects like burning, stinging in arms, vision problems, lips skin peeling. After one week off the ointment I just got a large red itchy welt behind my neck and mild rash-like itchy area on my back. I am glad it cleared my rash on my chest but I am concerned about the new welt and mild rash in my back because I don't want to use this ointment again due to side effects."

For Dermatological Disorders "I suffer from a painful, red rash on my upper chest. I used to use sulfacetamide that worked well but my insurance company removed it from their coverage and the price went up from a few $ to more than $300 for a small bottle. Accordingly, I switched to betamethezone and it works just as well. So does an elemental sulfur-containing cream, but it was too effective and resulted in mild chemical burns."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Betaderm cream has not helped at all. The rash is now processing up the side of my face. I have oily skin and this cream is very thick and oily. Probably the wrong thing for me. It is expensive since I don't have a plan and I was given 2 jars where one would have been more then enough to experiment with."

Luxiq (betamethasone) for Atopic Dermatitis "I used to use this when it came as a foam option. For dermatitis breakouts that left my forehead burning with red blotchy skin, often a single dose of Luxiq would make it go away overnight, entirely. Truly amazing. I only had to use it once or twice during the odd flare up. The only side effect was initial burning that subsided in about 15-30min. I think they discontinued the foam but you should check as it really helps."

"Topical, prescribed for severe itching on my feet. I've suffered with itchy feet for a year. Late 2022, it began. Uncontrollable itch, which would only happen sporadically, alcohol applied with a cotton ball relieved the itch. (Recommended by a friend.) I'd be on the beach, and suddenly the flare-up! I'd search for a boulder to rub my extreme, itchy foot/feet. I couldn't take it. Saw a dermatologist and she did a biopsy on each foot. The alcohol helped a little. Ice helped a little. Antifungal foot spray helped a little. 13 months of itch!! The results were eczema. I know she's well educated, and I trust her, but the betamethasone topical is only helping...a little."

For Dermatitis "It worked well for me where other preparations failed. I used a sparing amount, applying only to the affected area and rubbed in well. Twice a day was prescribed for me and, over the course of a couple weeks, the persistent red patches faded completely away."

"I was prescribed this product to deal with a severely itchy, blotchy rash that seems to be spreading on my lower legs. It does relieve the itch but does not seem to have any impact on the rash of blotchy spots. The rash has now spread to my other leg. The product has not contained it or resulted in any actual healing. I was advised to use the product for 2 weeks to produce relief from the condition. I have had to refill the prescription 4 times already to deal with the itchiness."

For Atopic Dermatitis "The first time I used betamethasone, I was 6 years old. And I had itching on my limbs, especially on my fingers. The dermatologist prescribed it to me and after 24 hours, my skin returned to normal with some lightening. Since then, I use this medication whenever similar sensations and lesions appear. But now, it takes more time for my skin to be normal, I don't know."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I had eczema for many years and after many doctor visits, I was finally prescribed this medication. I use it almost daily and my skin is so beautiful and soft with no inflammation, redness, or itch. There were no side effects for me and I only needed to use a small dab, just to cover the surface area lightly. It does not sting or burn; I cannot say enough good things about this cream."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I randomly flared with eczema all over my body and was prescribed betnovate. At first it worked and got rid of the eczema, however I remained very itchy so it would just keep coming back. I had to keep applying it and eventually it wouldn't even last for one day. I used two tubes over a 5 month period. I developed a face rash which I believe is a side effect of the betnovate and my eczema spread even further to my feet. It just didn't seem like a good long term option so I stopped all use and then developed even more side effects - red, burning skin all over, extremely dry skin and swollen lymph nodes. After about a month of not applying it my face started to get a bit better. 5 months later my face has significantly improved and my body is also a lot better than it was when I was using betnovate. I'm still going through what I believe to be a withdrawal from betnovate."
