Hello,
Betnovate is a strong steroid cream and it can have very serious side effects including permanent damage to the skin, osteoporosis and suppression of adrenal function. Children are even more susceptible to these side effects. Please get her to a dermatologist to get a correct diagnosis and treatment.
