Dont stop betamethasone suddenly. It is to be tapered very gradually. Your body is not producing steroids because of supplements from outside. Are you taking steroids from.long time. Please show to MD MEDICINE and dermatologist simultaneously for better diagnosis and treatment.

You are having side effects of methotrexate and also the body has stopped producing cortisol due to betamethasone from outside. This needs to be treated. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
