What is Betnovate Cream 0.10% /20g?
Betnovate Cream is a topical corticosteroid used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including psoriasis (which causes scaling and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (which causes itchy, swelling skin), and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). When your skin is irritated or reacts to an allergen, it releases substances that dilate blood vessels, causing localised swelling, redness, itching, and pain.
Betnovate Cream, a topical steroid, reduces inflammation, itching, and swelling by blocking the release of chemical messengers responsible for these symptoms. Chemicals like these are naturally released by the skin in response to allergens of any kind.
