I am a 24 year old male and I am using betamethasone dipropionate ointment given to me by my dermatologist for a mark on my hand. While washing and wiping my hands after putting it on to try and get rid of any cream of sticky feeling left on my hands or fingers, I accidentally touched my stomach, or the general area where my stomach is. Since this cream is prescribed for my hand and not for any other reason that I gave him, I fear that this will cause something serious at around the stomach area like cancer or something else that may be deadly, etc. Should I be worried about this, or is there little to no interaction in this case? I'm especially looking into this since my stomach is an important organ and part of my body.
