Betamethasone reduces inflammation and pruritus, while clotrimazole inhibits fungi by interfering with ergosterol synthesis in the cell membrane.

Pregnancy: Avoid excessive or prolonged application. Breastfeeding: Use cautiously.
Betamethasone + clotrimazole cream combines a corticosteroid with an antifungal. Clotrimazole clears the fungus, and betamethasone eases the itching and inflammation, so it is used for inflamed fungal skin infections such as tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), tinea cruris (jock itch) and tinea corporis (ringworm). The original brand is Lotrisone.
Because it contains a corticosteroid, use a thin film and do not wrap or bandage the area unless your doctor tells you to; the skin should improve within the first 2 weeks (MedlinePlus).
