Question 2

What is Betnovate Scalp Application used for?

Accepted Answer

It is a specialised liquid medication used to treat inflammatory skin disorders of the scalp such as psoriasis, eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It is formulated to penetrate the hair and reach the skin surface effectively.

Question 3

What are the active ingredients?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient is betamethasone valerate, a potent corticosteroid. The solution also contains isopropyl alcohol, which helps the liquid spread easily and dry quickly without leaving a greasy residue on the hair.

Question 4

How does Betnovate Scalp Application work?

Accepted Answer

It works by suppressing the body's inflammatory response, preventing skin cells from producing chemicals that cause blood vessels to widen. This directly reduces redness, swelling, and the intense urge to scratch.

Question 5

How to use Betnovate Scalp Application correctly?

Accepted Answer

Apply a small amount of the liquid directly to the dry scalp, spread it thinly over the inflamed area, and let it dry naturally without a hairdryer. Wash your hands immediately after application.

Question 6

What is the recommended dosage?

Accepted Answer

The standard dosage for adults is to apply the treatment twice daily (morning and evening) until symptoms improve. Once controlled, your prescriber may advise reducing applications to once a day or less frequently.

Question 7

What are the potential side effects?

Accepted Answer

Some users may experience a temporary stinging or burning sensation. Prolonged use can lead to thinning of the skin, changes in skin pigmentation, or increased hair growth at the application site.

Question 8

Can I wash my hair after applying it?

Accepted Answer

You should apply the medication to a dry scalp and leave it to absorb. Do not wash your hair immediately after application to ensure the active ingredient works effectively.

Question 9

Is Betnovate Scalp Application a cure for psoriasis?

Accepted Answer

No, there is currently no cure for psoriasis, but this treatment is highly effective at managing symptoms and clearing flare-ups when they occur.

Question 10

Can I use this on my face?

Accepted Answer

You must not use this specific scalp formulation on your face, as the skin is much thinner and more prone to damage from potent steroids.
