The
betnovate cream is not specifically designed to cure melasma. It contains the active ingredient betamethasone, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching associated with certain skin conditions. While corticosteroids may temporarily lighten skin pigmentation, they are not recommended for long-term use on the face due to potential side effects like thinning of the skin, visible blood vessels, and skin discoloration. Melasma, a common pigmentation disorder, is better treated with topical agents like hydroquinone, retinoids, and sunscreen. Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and suitable treatment plan, as using Betnovate cream for melasma may lead to adverse effects and is not the standard approach.
