I have adverse reaction to this treatment. It tends to make it worse on remissions.

This is the very first medication prescribed to me. The 0.05% cream worked at first. I went on remission for over a year and when it came back, it was worse and this med will not work anymore.

bad for long term use, knew it was harmful so i try not to continue it for long

It works ok when I have plaque breakouts but difficult to apply to the scalp. Also the doctor only gives me small tubes of it and I think I really need to use a lot more to keep it at bay. Honestly vaseline works nearly as well for plaque outbreaks and I have used that when I have ran out of bethametasone before. Not quite as good but same principle.
