Dermatitis
Dermatitis means inflamed skin, and its common form, atopic dermatitis, is also called eczema. The skin becomes dry, itchy and easily irritated, with symptoms that come and go.
Key points
- Temperature, stress and skin irritants can set off a dermatitis flare, and regular moisturising helps protect the skin between episodes.
- Topical corticosteroids such as betamethasone can reduce the inflammation and itching during a flare of eczema.
Medicines listed for Dermatitis
The listed product for dermatitis is Betnovate, a 20g tube of Betamethasone, a topical corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the skin.
