Can Betamethasone Valerate Be Applied In Pubic Area?
Hi and thank you for being here to help. I have been prescribed the Betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream to apply to my private, just around the clitoris which has been itchy but I ve just read on the notice in the prescription pack that the cream is not recommended for such parts

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Betamethasone is a very strong steroid.
It Is better to avoid this in pubic area.
A milder cream like fluticasone will be better
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Wishing you good health
Thank you
