What is Betnovate Scalp Application?
Betnovate Scalp Application is a topical corticosteroid used to relieve inflammation, redness, and itching caused by certain scalp conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It contains betamethasone valerate, a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling and makes the skin feel more comfortable.
You can also use it with scalp moisturisers to help keep eczema of the scalp under control and reduce irritation caused by conditions like alopecia. The solution absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel and is usually applied once or twice daily to affected areas, as directed by a healthcare professional.
How does Betnovate Scalp work?
Many skin conditions, like psoriasis and dermatitis can make the scalp red, itchy, swollen, and irritated due to inflammation triggered by certain chemicals in the body. Betnovate scalp application contains betamethasone a corticosteroid that helps block the release of these chemicals. By doing so, it eases inflammation and reduces symptoms like itching, redness, and discomfort.

Warnings
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this treatment if:
- You’ve had an allergic reaction to a steroid medicine in the past.
- You plan to use the solution under airtight dressings, as these can increase how much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin, raising the risk of side effects.
- You have psoriasis, your doctor may need to monitor you more closely during treatment.
- You're applying it to broken areas of skin or within skin folds, which can increase absorption.
- You need to use it on a large area of your scalp.
- You’re applying it to delicate skin or using it on a child, as thinner skin can absorb more of the active ingredient.
- You're treating a child, avoid using dressings or bandages over the treated area, and limit treatment to no more than 5 days.
If you notice any changes to your vision, such as blurriness, contact your doctor right away.
Interactions with other medicines
Let your doctor or pharmacist know if you are taking any medications, particularly ritonavir or itraconazole, as these may interfere with how Betnovate works or increase the risk of side effects.
