Can clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream be used for eczema?

When I had skin patches, I went to a dermatologist at a proper hospital and they specifically told me never to self-medicate with combination creams. Betamethasone is a very strong steroid and can thin your skin if misused. Please consult a proper doctor first.

Eczema itching is really hard to tolerate, I know because I tried so many home remedies and creams myself. But clotrimazole is for fungal issues, which eczema is not. It's much safer to use plain virgin coconut oil for soothing the dry skin while you wait to see a doctor.

Listen, don't just apply any tube you find in the house on your eczema. That cream has a strong steroid which can cause problems if used wrongly. Go show a skin doctor, let them give you the correct, safe ointment.

I have had severe eczema for years. This combination cream contains an antifungal and a strong steroid, which is usually for fungal infections that have inflammation. For plain eczema, a simple steroid or a good barrier repair moisturizer is much better. Don't use it on your face or for too long without a doc's advice.
