Betnovate contains the potent active ingredient betamethasone valerate. Betamethasone belongs to a group of medicines called topical corticosteroids. It is also available as a cream or ointment to treat skin conditions in other parts of the body. Betnovate Scalp application is applied directly to the scalp and can help to reduce inflammation, itchiness, and redness. To apply the liquid, unscrew that cap and place the nozzle on the affected area of your scalp. Squeeze the bottle to cover the area with a thin and even layer of liquid. This does not have to be rubbed in, but some people prefer to rub it in. Your scalp will feel cool until the liquid has dried. Wash your hands before and after applying the lotion.
The most common side effects with Betnovate Scalp Application are reactions to the skin it is applied to. It can cause itching, skin irritation, pain and a burning sensation. Other side effects can happen but are much rarer, such as pustular psoriasis, stretch marks, and weight gain. Side effects may vary from one person to the next, as with any medication. You should always read the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) before using or any other medication.
