What is Betnovate Scalp Application?

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.

If you have washed your hair, dry it properly before using the scalp lotion.

  • Apply a thin layer of the lotion over the area of your scalp that needs to be treated. You do not have to rub the lotion in.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Betnovate Scalp Application before you start.

How do I apply Betnovate Scalp Application?

Part your hair and apply a few drops directly to the affected areas of the scalp, then gently massage it in. It is usually used once or twice a day, as directed by your prescriber.

How long can I use it for?

It is a potent steroid, so it is normally used for short periods until the flare-up settles. Speak to our clinical team if you need it for longer than a few weeks.

Can I wash my hair after applying it?

Apply it to clean, dry hair and leave it on. The lotion contains alcohol, so keep it away from flames and heat, including hairdryers, until it has dried.

What if my scalp does not improve?

If there is no improvement after two weeks, or your scalp becomes more painful, weepy or crusted, stop using it and speak to a clinician, as you may have an infection.
