Is It Safe To Apply Clotrimazole And Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion On Cheeks?

i have clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate lotion 30 mL my PCP doctor gave it to me to use around my ankles as i had a red itchy rash around both ankles. the lotion did take the rash away. i have gotten a red rash on my face on the right cheek that is also very itchy. my makeup only conceals it a little, as it more noticeable under lights or when i am outside. i take cholesterol medication and blood pressure medicine, also for anxiety i take generic version of xanax .025 2 to 3 times a day. Would this lotion be safe to try to use on my cheek.

Thanks very much. I am 75 years old and my name is Marcy.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please do not apply betamethasone dipropionate lotion on cheek. Betamethasone is a potent steroid cream which can damage your skin. It can cause thinning of your skin, hair growth on cheek and depigmentation of cheek. My humble advise is to avoid using any cream that contains steroid without Dermatologist's prescription.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
