Diprolene Cream (betamethasone dipropionate) is a potent corticosteroid effective at reducing the pain, swelling, redness and itching associated with a variety of skin conditions, such as psoriasis or eczema. It is suitable for patients age 13 and up.

Patients planning to buy Diprolene Cream should be aware that it is not for use on the face or groin. Likewise, because the medication does impair immune system response where it is applied, it should not be used on infected, broken, burned, or otherwise damaged skin.

Application Options

The active ingredient in Diprolene Cream, betamethasone dipropionate, is also available as an ointment. Whether one should buy Diprolene Cream or DiproSone Ointment depends on the type of skin being treated:

• The cream is oil- and water-based; it is quickly absorbed and easily washed off. Patients will want to buy Diprolene Cream for moist or weepy areas of skin.
• The ointment is oil-based; it's thick and greasy compared to the cream, and relatively difficult to wash off. Patients will want to buy DiproSone Ointment for dry, scaly patches of skin.

Other than the formulation of inactive ingredients the two products are exactly the same; used the same way, for the same length of time, and so forth.

Getting the Most from Diprolene Cream

Diprolene cream is easy to use, though patients should be cautious to avoid using it in excessive quantity or for too long. Patients age 13 years old and up buy Diprolene Cream to treat:

• Atopic eczema
• Allergic contact dermatitis
• Irritant contact dermatitis
• Seborrhoeic dermatitis
• Psoriasis
• Photodermatitis
• Lichen planus
• Erythroderma
• Prurigo nodularis

Treatment typically consists of:

• Gently rub in a thin layer of the cream directly on the affected areas once or twice per day.
• Continue until the condition is under control.
• Do not exceed 50 grams of the cream in one week.
• Do not use the cream for more than two consecutive weeks.

Most patients find their condition clears up before the two-week mark, though a few aren't so lucky. If there's no improvement at all the condition likely isn't responsive to corticosteroids; a doctor may be able to correctly identify it and recommend a more suitable medication. If the condition has improved significantly but isn't quite gone, a doctor may recommend using Diprolene Cream a little longer. This should only be done with doctor permission, however, as it can produce side effects.

Use on the Face

Patients are often tempted to use Diprolene Cream (or other corticosteroids) on the face. This should be avoided in all but the most severe circumstances, as using corticosteroids can cause more problems than they fix---and this is especially true of potent versions, which Diprolene Cream is. Use on the face can cause:

• Rosacea, especially in women
• Reduction in collagen, leading to thinning of the skin
• Telangiectasia, in which blood vessels cause red lines on the skin
• Purpura, in which small blood vessels leak blood, causing purple spots
• Perioral dermatitis, in which the skin around the mouth becomes inflamed
• Opportunistic infection from the many types of microbes that contact the face

If other methods of treatment have failed, a corticosteroid can be used on the face for up to two weeks at a time, avoiding use on the particularly delicate skin around the eyes. Two-week treatment sessions should be followed by at least a month of no-treatment, and should only be done with the involvement of a doctor.
