Insect Bite, Lichenoid Dermatitis, Inflammation, Itching. Triamcinolone Actenoide Cream Ineffective. Will Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream Work?
I got a insect bite a year ago and since then I have lichenoid dermatitis. I took a blood test and im not positive for anything they tested me for. All it showed was that I was that I have inflammation. It itchy and its spreading from me scratching. Im takining triamcinolone acetonid cream from my dr. thats not working. Now I have some betamethasone dipripionate cream from a friend. Will that work better?

Hello
Thanks for the query
Triamcinolone actenoide is a very mild steroid
and wont work in chronic conditions.
betamethasone dipropionate cream is quiet strong,
you will get relief with it.
But dont use it for long as it may cause side effects.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
