Are Clotrimazole And Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream Safe For Long Term Use?
Hi i was perscribed Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate cream for what looked like some type of bug bite on my leg over 6 months ago. I have gone back to see my Doctor every time I ran out concerned it was not helping. He continued to tell me to apply it although it says in lold lettering do not take for more than 4 weeks. My leg looks the same if not worse and he still says to take it. Is this medicine safe to take for a long period of time?

HI
Well come to HCM
Better stop the applying the prescribed cream, in my opinion try Diphenhydramine lotion with oral anti-histamine and the best option would be Tab Levocetrizine three times in day, keep the area clean take care for cloths use cotton cloths, hope this helps.
