Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: Once the scalp is clear, you no longer need to use it. I'd only be concerned if this needs be used daily for more than 6 months. It is important to find out what is causing your scalp problem if you need betaderm to control the lesions regularly. Suggest that you consult a dermatologist.
