Generic Lotrisone (Betamethasone) is topical steroid treatment that is made to treat various forms of skin irritation. Made with a combination of betamethasone and clotrimazole, Generic Lotrisone is a dual action cream that remedies infections, and calms skin irritation. The clotrimazole in this lotion works to stop the growth of fungus infections, while betamethasone works to reduce the appearance of itching, redness and swelling on the skin. Generic Lotrisone is most often used to treat fungus infections, including: athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch.
