Side effect after leaving Betnovate C
I am not very sure, but I think that I have severe side effect after leaving Betnovate C ointment. I've been applying since long and recently came across some article advising to leaving it. I stopped it and started having rashes on face and neck. Skin have gone very dry and feeling lot of itching around eye and neck. Presently I am in UK, but GP are only advising moisturisers. Now it's quite painful. Would really appreciate if anyone could help.
Thanks,
Manoj Singh

Please stop using betnovate cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem. Please send photos through online consult option for proper examination and treatment.,
