Suggest Treatment For Extreme Eczema Outbreak

I have had eczema for many years. The current outbreak I am experiencing is the worst its ever been. It has been so bad I had 3 areas on my scalp that got infected and I had to be put on an antibiotic. My Doctor also gave me Betamethasone Valerate Cream. I also have it vaginally which I never have had before. Can I use the cream vaginally the same as in the other affected areas?

Hi
I can understand your concern but don't use betamethasone cream intravaginally as it is high potency steroid and not suited for this body part.
