A member asked:
Can betamethasone and clotrimazole be used on skin boils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They won't do any good. Clotrimazole treats fungal infection, which you don't have. Betamethasone is a steroid, which can make infection worse. Finally, the infection in a boil is under the skin, so creams won't work. Boils generally nave to be opened and drained.
