Dear lybrate-user, it's not recommended to use betnovate as it contains steroid. Use dermadew lotion instead and maintain cleanliness. Change wet clothes as soon as possible and the baby in clean dry clothes.

Betnovate is not good for child skin. It also thin skin. Maintain hygiene and go for a good homeopath.

No, please don't apply betnovate for ringworm. You can apply candid cream. I would suggest that you show a dermatologist near you.
