Dear lybrate-user, neither of the creams are recommended for fungus or seb dermatitis. Betnovate is a steroid containing cream that has the tendency to flare the fungal infection. There are various kinds of fungal infections, that need to be assesses before prescribing treatment. A walk in or tele consultation with a dermatologist should help you to reach proper diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
Thanks.

Stop using betnovate. It's steroid. After using betnovate if any allei has come better stop it. In some days it will subside.

Both steroid as well as salicylic acid in betnovate will cause harm to delicate skin of baby.

It will lead to permanent damage - skin thinning, redness, more and big pimples, infections, hairgrowth on your face when used unsupervised/ for wrong indications.
