Severe skin reactions are quite rare with Belsonate 0.05% Cream. Belsonate 0.05% Cream is an anti-inflammatory drug which is used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in a person who is hypersensitive to Belsonate 0.05% Cream. It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Belsonate 0.05% Cream as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions.

Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.
Q. Can Belsonate 0.05% Cream be used on the face?

Q. Can Belsonate 0.05% Cream be applied to children?
Belsonate 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use in children less than 1 year of age. It is also not recommended for use in older children and adolescents as the side effects are more common in them. In the pediatric population, there is an increased risk of suppression of the immune system which may make the child prone to other diseases and atrophic changes, hence it is not recommended. Still, in some rare cases, the doctor may recommend this medicine, but the treatment is usually limited to 5 days and the therapy is reviewed weekly.
Q. Can we use Belsonate 0.05% Cream in infections?
Belsonate 0.05% Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It is a steroid medication. It should not be used in infections as being a corticosteroid, it suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of infections. Bacterial infections are prone to worsen if the infection is covered with a dressing after using Belsonate 0.05% Cream. In case the inflammatory lesions get infected or there is any spread of infection, consult your doctor immediately. The doctor will withdraw the use of Belsonate 0.05% Cream and provide appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Q. Can I stop taking Belsonate 0.05% Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Belsonate 0.05% Cream as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions. If not by the medicine itself, sometimes the reactions are also caused by the added excipients with the medications. Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.
