A member asked:
I was wondering if betamethosene valerate ( 1mg/g) will assist in healing scars?? i am concerned as have olive skin and scar already formed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Betamethasone is an antiinflammatory medication and it will not help in removing scars. Repeated us of steroids on skin can even cause more problems. Talk to your doctor about other options.
