Betamethasone Valerate Cream is for external use only and should not be used on the face, underarm, or groin area unless directed by a healthcare professional. Generally, the cream is applied to the affected area of the skin once or twice a day, depending on the severity of the condition. Be sure to follow the dosage and application instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
To use Betamethasone Valerate Cream, follow the following procedures:
- Wash your hands with soap and water before and after using the cream.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area of the skin. Rub it in gently.
- Do not bandage or otherwise wrap the skin being treated unless directed to do so by your doctor.
- If the medicine is applied to the diaper area of an infant, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants unless directed to do so by your doctor.
- If your doctor ordered an occlusive dressing or airtight covering to be applied over the medicine, make sure you know how to apply it. Occlusive dressings increase the amount of medicine absorbed through your skin, so use them only as directed.
Avoid using the cream on the face, groin, or underarms unless directed to do so by your doctor. Additionally, wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream. If you have any questions or concerns about how to use Betamethasone Valerate cream, consult your doctor or pharmacist for further guidance.
