Betamethasone topical "I have severe cracking of my feet and toes, and two weeks daily of using the medication once a day after bathing and drying my feet... things have cleared up almost completely!! I wear work boots and cotton socks six, sometimes seven days per week, and my feet really suffer... Thanks for the Betaderm."

"I used betamethasone for a year. It kept everything in control, and after a while, I noticed something terrifying. Using this cream is such a bad idea and a trade-off, but I don't know what else to do. :( Side effects include: - thinning of skin - burning sensation and redness - you stop sweating in that area where you apply, and these effects last for months after repeated use - it thins the skin, which makes it feel like paper. I’m super upset on how it worked decently for a year, and then I think once my body got used to it, it stings now every time I apply it due to how thin my skin’s gotten and my inability to sweat and cool off during my exercises."

"I have suffered with various forms of eczema flare-ups for 25 years. I recently had a severe hand flare-up, and my dermatologist recommended several new ointments to try, which did not work. Out of desperation, I asked him to prescribe a cream (not ointment!!) that I had used 10 years ago, which worked great for me. He looked at my chart and said it was Betamethasone Cream. I applied it last night with vinyl gloves on, and this morning my hands have improved 40% in one night. Only cream that works for me."

"I used betamethasone dipropionate ointment augmented 0.05% for 13 days, and it cleared my chest rash and hives on my arms. However, after I stopped using it, I continued to have some side effects like burning, stinging in my arms, vision problems, and lips skin peeling. After one week off the ointment, I just got a large red itchy welt behind my neck and a 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 on my back because I don't want to use this ointment again due to side effects."

"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."

"When did a cream become an ointment? I used this cream around 2000-2001. It was very good and absorbed into the skin and left the skin soft, non-oily. Now, 2020, and oily, non-absorbent, and seems to have changed formula. Still a good treatment, but NOT as good as it was."

"I've used an assortment of medicated creams and ointments in my lifetime of battling eczema. Currently, this is the one that keeps it mostly controlled. It doesn't eliminate it altogether, but it works well. I apply it at night and put gloves on (nitrile gloves), which helps significantly since my hands are what is affected, and it is really difficult to keep medications on long enough otherwise."

"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 than enough to experiment with."

Betamethasone topical "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 15-30 min. I think they discontinued the foam, but you should check as it really helps."

"I have used it for years - works okay. I get the 15-gram tubes. But in all these years, I have found EVERY tube to be 30% empty in the middle. I have no doubt that it is done by clever design of filling equipment or they will always have too much left over in the supply pipes. The trick is to give less product for the same cost!"

"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."

"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. Five 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."
