Kindly visit a qualified dermatologist for correct diagnosis and treatment. It is not possible to give medication without physical examination as many different skin conditions can look similar. Regards, Dr Pinanky Jadhav, Eternis Clinic, Pune
Next Steps
Avoid harsh soaps and hot water for bathing. You can use moisturising lotion after bath and at night.
Health Tips
Better to avoid self medication with Betnovate N. This cream is to be used strictly under Dermatologist's supervision only.
