Betnovate ointment is an anti-inflammatory ointment used to treat a variety of skin conditions. It contains an active ingredient known as a corticosteroid, which works to reduce inflammation and itching associated with certain skin conditions. This medication is commonly used to treat conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rashes caused by allergies or inflammation. It also reduces redness and swelling in the affected areas.
Betnovate may also be prescribed to treat other conditions, such as minor burns or insect bites that are accompanied by skin irritation, to provide relief and reduce symptoms. It should be used under close medical supervision to avoid excessive or prolonged use, which may lead to unwanted side effects such as skin thinning or discoloration of the treated area.
