Description

How Does Betnovate Scalp Application Work?

Betnovate Scalp Application contains the active ingredient betamethasone valerate 0.1%. It is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflamed, irritated and sore skin. The treatment gets absorbed through the skin.  It helps block the release of inflammatory chemicals that cause severe eczema symptoms. Use Betnovate on dry, flaky, crusty or inflamed areas twice daily to calm redness, itching and irritation. The remedy is not intended for everyday usage.  It manages breakouts on the Scalp and should be paired with moisturisers to keep the skin in shape.
