Skin roughness due to betnovate
How much time does it take for skin to normally heal due to betnovate c application which I have stopped now since three weeks. Used to apply it quite lot of times since 6 yrs. The skin feels some roughness when I touch after stopping and currently using mild face wash and moisturizing cream. So far no itching but the upper layer feels rough with tiny dots.

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

Usually takes few weeks time for the skin to heal, but it depends largely upon the duration and amount of use of Betnovate.
6 years use is a serious problem. It causes permanent skin thinning, extreme dryness, redness and also darker complexion.
You should continue using the moisturiser and use it as frequently as possible, may be 4 to 6 times daily. You can also take prescription for steroid sparing creams and skin rejuvenation creams, as required.
Next Steps
Consider consultation with dermatologist to regain original skin.
