A member asked:
Which is better--dexamethasone or betamethasone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither.: There is no "better" or "worse" among topical corticosteroids. (i'm assuming you are talking about topicals, but Dexamethasone is also given orally.) both are mid-strength anti-inflammatory creams. Betamethasone is probably more popular in this country, but i don't know of any particular reason for that.
