Description

Betnovate Cream 0.1% is a prescription-strength potent topical corticosteroid used to quickly calm inflamed, itchy, red skin during flare‑ups. It is commonly prescribed for steroid‑responsive conditions such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), contact dermatitis and psoriasis where a clinician decides a stronger anti‑inflammatory treatment is needed.


At a Glance

  •     Active ingredient: betamethasone valerate 0.1% (potent topical steroid)
  •     Best for: moist, inflamed or weeping flare areas where a lighter texture is preferred
  •     Used for: eczema/dermatitis flare‑ups, psoriasis plaques and other steroid‑responsive inflammation
  •     How often: apply thinly once or twice daily, then reduce as improved
  •     Course length: up to 4 weeks until improvement, then taper (follow clinician plan)

What Betnovate Cream Treats

Betnovate Cream may be prescribed for steroid‑responsive inflammatory skin conditions, including:
  •     Atopic eczema flare‑ups (itch, redness, inflamed patches)
  •     Contact dermatitis (irritant or allergic) with significant inflammation
  •     Psoriasis plaques (where a potent steroid is appropriate)
  •     Other dermatitis presentations requiring short‑term flare control

How Betnovate Works

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by dampening overactive immune signals in the skin. This helps relieve itching and redness, and supports skin barrier recovery when combined with regular emollient use.

How to Use Betnovate Cream (Dose & Directions)

Apply Betnovate thinly and gently rub in, using only enough to cover the affected area. Standard use is once or twice daily for up to 4 weeks until improvement occurs, then reduce the frequency or switch to a less potent steroid if advised.

Step‑by‑step application

  1.     Wash and dry your hands.
  2.     Apply a thin layer to the affected area only (avoid healthy skin where possible).
  3.     Gently rub in until absorbed.
  4.     Wash hands after use (unless treating your hands).

Using with moisturisers (emollients)

If you use an emollient, allow adequate time for absorption between products. A common routine is emollient first, then Betnovate after 15-30 minutes the key is spacing and consistency.

When to reduce or stop

  •     As the flare improves, reduce frequency (e.g., twice daily → once daily → stop) as advised.
  •     Avoid prolonged continuous use, large areas, or occlusion unless directed (higher risk of side effects).
  •     Seek review if there’s no improvement by 4 weeks, or if symptoms worsen.

Warnings & Precautions

  •     For external use only.
  •     Do not apply to infected skin unless a clinician has advised and the infection is being treated.
  •     Avoid face, groin, armpits and skin folds unless specifically directed (higher risk of steroid side effects).
  •     Do not use under airtight dressings (occlusion) unless advised.
  •     Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

Allergy/irritant note

Some Betnovate cream formulations may contain excipients that can irritate sensitive skin (for example, chlorocresol or cetostearyl alcohol). If you have known sensitivities, check the leaflet or ask a pharmacist.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects are more likely with stronger steroids, longer use, large areas, occlusion, or use on thin skin (face/folds).
  •     Burning, stinging, dryness or irritation where applied
  •     Skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks or visible small blood vessels with prolonged use
  •     Worsening of untreated skin infections
  •     Allergic reaction (rare): stop and seek urgent advice if swelling, widespread rash, or breathing problems occur
