Can diprolene creme be used on scalp psoriasis?

Yes, Diprolene® (betamethasone dipropionate) cream may be used on scalp psoriasis. It belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids and works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching. When applied to the affected area, it helps to relieve the symptoms of scalp psoriasis.

Here's how to use Diprolene® cream:

1. Ensure your hands and the affected area on the scalp are clean and dry.

2. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas of the scalp. Rub it gently into the skin until the cream is absorbed.

3. Do not use more cream than recommended or use it more often than directed by your doctor.

4. Wash your hands after applying Diprolene® cream to avoid spreading the medication to other parts of the body.

5. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. If the cream does come into contact with any of these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.

Follow the instructions given by your doctor and the medication guide that comes with Diprolene® cream. It's important to use it only as directed and for the prescribed duration to minimize any potential side effects. If you have any questions or concerns about using Diprolene® cream on scalp psoriasis, be sure to consult with your healthcare professional for personalized advice.
