AFTER BEING TEATED WITH EVERTHING FOR A RASH ON MY LEG THAT MY DOCTOR SAID WAS CAUSED BY MY BEING OVERWEIGHT IN DESPARATION I USED THIS PRODUCT VIA A COI-WORKER THAT HAD BEEN WEEDING HER GARDEN AND PICKED UP A RASH FROM THE WEEDS. BY THE TIME I LEFT WORK THE RASH HAD STARTED TO CLEAR UP. I WENT TO MY DOCTOR AND INSISTED ON A RX. HE PROTESTED AND SAID IT WOULD NOT DO ME ANY GOOD. SO I WENT TO AN...

I was prescribed the medication and it had no effect on my rash. I actually think it made it worse. I wouldn't recommend this or the generic counterpart to anyone for the fact of it ineffectiveness

I've been using the topical steriod for close to 5 miserable years now and as a result have gone from a head full of beautiul, shiney, curley long hair to thinning fragile hair that I'm afraid to brush. I've noticed that though it will clear up on certain areas the plaques just reappear close to the cleared area. Though I'm 35 and balding, I've noticed in increase and darker facial and arm hair. I sincerely and strongly DISCOURAGE anyone with severe psoriasis to continue to use Betamethasone as an treatment for our illness. I've read and researched a new drug called Remicade and I'm excited to try it. Good luck to you... SoniaRead More Read Less

I had very painful dermatitis in both of my ears. Flakey and crusty skin that was awful. My doctor perscribed this medicine and it took a total of 6 days to totally eliminate the dermatitis. Absolutely excellent!

I had scalp itching, dandruff, and buildup of dead thickening skin on my scalp. I used this medication as prescribed and it reduced the itching, softened the scaliness, and helped reduce the "snow" on my shoulders. The thick scales eventually went away, and new pink scalp appeared. My hair began to regrow in stubbles where bald patches had been. It felt cool when applied and seemed to moisturize the dryness I felt. It was sometimes tedious to apply because I had long hair. My hair became greasy after applying proving hard to be removed with shampoo. Overall I was happy with the outcome of using Betamethasone Dipropionate Top Ointment. L.WoodardRead More Read Less

I have an itch on my ankle that's been there for years, I've made myself leave it alone so that I didn't damage my skin. I consulted my Doctor about it and she gave me this cream to try and relieve the nerve under the skin to kill the itch all together. It has NOT killed the itch altogether but it does stop the itching while it's on (I must admit that I got sick and wasn't putting it on 3 times a day like I'm doing now that I'm well)Also, I'm only a month into the 2 months she gave.

A rash appeared on the side of my cheek and would not go away. At first I thought it was from my hair against it at night. Went to the doctors, he prescribed this and it went away! Highly recommended.

It has taken away the awful itching and seeping of clear liquid, which is what I was concerned about. Is very good, but am still using it on the rash.

I had this rash that started out of no where on my arm. i kept thinking oh it will go away. but it got worse. i finally brought myself to the doctors after dealing with it for 2 days. and she prescribed me this medication. so far after using it for one day. the redness has gone down. and the itching has stopped. my rash is unknown. my doctor said its either poison ivy. or just a plain rash. lol i hope it goes away all together. but so far the medicine is successful. :)

At the age of 57 both my hands broke out with a very bad case of plaque psoriasis. I have tried many different creams ordered my my dermatologist (none worked). I'm a nurse and this condition almost made me go on disability. This cream was ordered for one of my residents by accident and was going to be thrown out. I decided to try it and within one week my hands were clear. I now feel like a greater power sent me this cream. I am so happy i hope it keeps working.

I have severe Psoriasis (all over my body), this medicine controls it pretty good. This is the only medication I like to use. I've used it for almost 20 years.
