Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes inflammation, dryness, redness, and irritation. It can be triggered by allergies, harsh soaps, weather changes, or underlying conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Flare-ups may be short-lived or more persistent depending on the cause and severity.
Common types of dermatitis include atopic dermatitis (eczema), which is often genetic and long-term, and contact dermatitis, which occurs when the skin reacts to something it touches—such as detergent, perfume, or latex. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and prevent further irritation.
At Slinic, we offer a selection of prescription treatments to help manage dermatitis symptoms. These include Betamethasone 30g cream and ointment, Betnovate, Betacap Scalp Application, and Enstilar foam—each designed to relieve itching, calm inflammation, and promote skin healing.
Betamethasone and Betnovate are topical corticosteroids used to treat red, inflamed skin. They help suppress the immune response in the affected area, reducing swelling and itching. The cream is suitable for moist or weeping skin, while the ointment is better for dry, scaly patches.
Betacap is a scalp application containing betamethasone valerate, ideal for treating dermatitis and other inflammatory conditions of the scalp. It helps reduce itching and flaking while soothing irritation caused by flare-ups.
Enstilar foam is used to treat psoriasis but may also be prescribed for related skin inflammation. It combines a corticosteroid and a vitamin D analogue to reduce redness, scaling, and discomfort. A prescriber will assess your symptoms to determine the most suitable option.

What is the difference between Betamethasone and Betnovate?
Both contain the same active ingredient (betamethasone valerate), but Betnovate is a branded version. They work the same way to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms of dermatitis.
Should I use cream or ointment for dermatitis?
Cream is usually better for moist or weeping skin, while ointment is more suitable for dry, scaly areas. Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate format based on your symptoms.
Can I use Betacap for scalp dermatitis?
Yes. Betacap is specifically designed for use on the scalp. It helps reduce redness, flaking, and irritation caused by scalp dermatitis or psoriasis.
How do I use Enstilar foam?
Enstilar should be applied to the affected skin once daily, as directed by a prescriber. It’s most often used for psoriasis but may be prescribed for other inflammatory skin conditions in some cases.
