Ideally, it is best to use as little steroid-based product on your face as possible, preferably none. If temporary use of a steroid ointment or cream is needed, it would be safer to use 0.5-1.0% hydrocortisone (as betamethasone is much stronger). Check with your physician in your particular case.

Is there an OTC betamethasone dipropionate ointment?

I always heard my old Russian grandmother recommend using your own urine for severe skin rashes due to contact dermatitis and poison ivy and poison oak. Well, I had a severe case of dermatitis and was out camping in the mountains, away from medical help or a clinic and the itch was unbearable plus the skin was turning leather like, so I resorted to my grandmother's cure. I was always skeptical, but am now a believer. Not only did the itch stop, but within two days my skin started to return to a more normal condition.
