When chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis cause intense flare-ups, standard moisturizing lotions are often not enough to calm the hyperactive immune response. Betason Ointment 15g provides direct, high-strength dermatological intervention.
Key Product Benefits
- High-Potency Anti-Inflammatory Action: Rapidly flattens raised skin patches, reduces intense localized heat, and clears deep dermatological redness.
- Targets Scaly & Thickened Plaques: The emollient base penetrates deeply to soften stubborn, rough skin layers, making it highly effective for chronic plaque psoriasis.
- Breaks the Itch-Scratch Cycle: Stops nagging itching within minutes of application, preventing aggressive scratching that can lead to skin tearing and secondary bacterial infections.
- Provides an Occlusive Moisture Barrier: Safely locks in hydration over compromised skin zones, preventing the excessive dryness that triggers painful cracks and flaking.
- Clinically Proven Defense: Formulated to address highly resistant dermatoses that fail to respond to weaker, over-the-counter hydrocortisone treatments.
How to Apply Safely & Correctly
- Sanitize the Area: Wash your hands thoroughly and gently clean the affected skin area, ensuring it is fully dry before application.
- Apply a Thin Film: Squeeze a small amount of ointment onto your fingertip. Smooth a thin layer over the inflamed skin in the direction of natural hair growth. Do not rub aggressively.
- Wash Hands Immediately: Clean your hands with soap and water right after use, unless your hands are the primary treatment zone.
- Frequency: Apply strictly 1 to 2 times daily, or exactly as prescribed by your dermatologist. Reduce the frequency as the skin begins to heal.
Critical Clinical Safety & Warnings
- Face & Delicate Areas Warning: Do not apply this ointment to the face, groin, underarms, or skin folds for extended periods unless explicitly monitored by a physician. Skin in these zones is thin and prone to permanent thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, or unintended steroid absorption.
- No Occlusive Bandages: Do not wrap, bandage, or cover the treated skin area unless instructed by your doctor. Covering a potent steroid significantly increases absorption rates, elevating the risk of systemic side effects.
- Avoid Infusions & Infection: Do not use on open wounds, weeping sores, acne, rosacea, or areas with active viral, fungal, or bacterial infections.
