Can Betamethasone And Clotrimazole Cause Any Side Effects?
I recently had a small spot of ringworm on my innner thigh right next to the scrotum. I was perscribed Betamethasone and Clotrimazole creme to apply for 2 weeks and it knocked it out. Now my testicles are ver red in color and they were fine before. Could this be a reaction to the creme?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Betamethasone is a topical steroid. I would have given you only clotrimazole for ring worm. Topical steroid can cause thinning of skin, stretch marks, redness etc . Stop Betamethasone. Get a cream containing only clotrimazole and apply it for three weeks twice a day.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
