Betamethasone is a very potent corticosteroid. It is available in a variety of formulations, but most commonly used outside of a hospital setting is a topical formula; ointments, creams, gels, sprays, and so forth. In these formulas, patients buy Betamethasone to treat a variety of corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions, including:

• Insect bites or stings
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Discoid lupus erythematosus
• Contact dermatitis
• Allergic dermatitis
• Seborrhoeic dermatitis
• Lichen simplex
• Lichen planus
• Lichen sclerosus
• Prurigo nodularis

The medication works by inhibiting the itching, pain, swelling, redness, and other symptoms of inflammation. Corticosteroids like Betamethasone are a standard in treating allergic reactions or conditions caused by an overactive immune system.

It's possible to buy Betamethasone in combination with other ingredients, such as an antibiotic, which can further enhance results when the condition is complicated by bacterial infection. Diprolene Ointment is one such product.

Parents can buy Betamethasone for children age 12 and up. Consult a doctor for use in younger children; they're more susceptible to side effects. Likewise consult a doctor before using if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Steroid Precautions

Betamethasone is a steroid, and carries with it associated risks. Risks may be lower when it's applied topically rather than injected or swallowed, but they are still there.

Most serious side effects result from excessive and/or long-term use. Since Betamethasone clears up the majority of issues in just one or two weeks, patients are unlikely to experience these side effects. However, if treatment extends beyond a couple of weeks, patients are strongly encouraged to involve a doctor and attend regular checkups so any developing side effects can be monitored for.

Patients planning to buy Betamethasone should also be aware of issues regarding use on the face. The face is more susceptible to thinning skin, acne, perioral dermatitis, and other side effects, which can be both unsightly and painful. A doctor will sometimes advise patients to use Betamethasone on the face, but rarely for more than five consecutive days. Unless explicitly directed to do so by a doctor, patients should refrain from using this product on the face.

Using Betamethasone Topical

Betamethasone is easy to use, but there are some precautions to take. First of all is where not to apply it:

• Mucous membranes
• The groin
• The anus
• Armpits
• Skin folds

All of the above will significantly increase amounts of the medication absorbed into the bloodstream. For similar reasons, avoid:

• Covering the treated area with tight bandages or tight clothing
• Using plastic diapers or plastic pants on treated areas in infants
• Using other medicated or non-medicated skincare products on the treated area

If using the foam formulation, for treating the scalp, be aware that it's very flammable; avoid open flames during application and for about 30 minutes after.

To use the medication:

• Wash hands and affected area prior to application.
• Apply a thin layer of medication to the affected area one to three times per day.
• Wash hands again when finished.

Improvements, often significant ones, are usually noticeable within the first few treatments. Duration of treatment depends on a number of personal factors, but typically spans 7 to 14 days for adults and 5 to 7 days for children. In the vast majority of cases, this is sufficient to completely clear up the issue.

Some patients will require longer treatment; again, this is advisable only with the involvement of a doctor.

If the condition returns or resurges, treatment can be repeated provided several weeks have passed since the last treatment. If at any point during treatment the condition worsens, stop using Betamethasone and consult a doctor.
