Precautions and warnings
Topical corticosteroids can cause a reversible suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which can lead to glucocorticosteroid insufficiency if treatment is stopped. Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria can all be caused by systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids while on treatment in some patients.
Usage over broad surface regions, continuous use, and use under occlusive dressings are all conditions that increase systemic absorption.
If HPA axis suppression is detected, the medicine should be discontinued, the frequency of application reduced, or a less potent corticosteroid substituted.
Due to their greater skin surface-to-body mass ratios, pediatric patients may be more sensitive to systemic toxicity from equal doses.

Mode of actions
Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that primarily acts as a glucocorticoid. It reduces the rate of protein synthesis, inhibits the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, and reverses capillary permeability and lysosomal stabilization to prevent and regulate inflammation.
Clotrimazole is a fungal antifungal drug that binds to phospholipids in the cell membrane of the fungus. By changing cell wall permeability, it causes the loss of critical intracellular components.
