    Being betamethasone a pharmaceutical product, you’ll likely need to hire a professional pharmacist to get gov’t approval, even if it’s approved to be sold as OTC.

    Mercury is banned everywhere.

    You won’t get a recommendation because mercury is banned in most countries for most uses. There are exceptions but you’re not part of those or you wouldn’t ask said question.
    Also, betamethasone and other cortisones have nothing to do in cosmetics, they are pharmaceutical drugs and in many countries are even prescription drugs.
    Maybe ask your government for advice?

    Just use Hydroquinone. It is much safer and proven to work, mercury is banned for a reason.
