Betamethasone dipropionate belongs to a group of medi

which causes the skin to become red and itchy. Dermatitis is
inflammation of the skin. Psoriasis is a skin disease in which itchy, scaly, pink patches develop on the
elbows, knees, scalp and other parts of the body.

Always use Diprosone Ointment exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or
