Can i use betamethasone dp for cellulitis on my ear?

Probably not: Steroids do not treat infections they can make things worse. If this is truly a cellulitis you need antibiotics not a steroid. You should see your doctor to get checked and get the proper medication.

No: Topical steroid is likely to make the infection worse. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
