Please stop using betnovate cream as it contains strong steroid which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sensitivity to sunlight, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is thinning of skin, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and increase hair growth on the face are many side effects of this. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly reduce the steroid addiction of the skin. Please send photos through online consultation for proper examination and treatment

Stop betnovate, as it is a steroid.
Simultaneously start creams without steroid to balance.
Consult me on practo pro for guidance & prescription
