Hello lybrate-user betnovate is a steroid that needs to be given only for particular skin reasons. If you are just having itching, try moisturising frequently, if it is ringworm - use antifungals as steroids will aggrevate this condition. Moisturisers and itch medications are way to go for dryness/ friction associated itching/ irritation.
Thank you and t.c.
