Betnovate c cream for the duration as prescribed by your doctor. Prolonged use for more than 4 weeks is not recommended as it contains a steroid. This steroid can be absorbed into the skin over prolonged use and result in skin damage and hormonal issues.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

You should not have used betnovate n for along time. You should have taken your doctors advice long time ago. No doctor advises to use betnovate or betnovate n for long time. It causes lots of side effects and some of them are really troublesome. Please see a good physician as soon as .possible. You should not stop or use medicines without asking your doctor.

Yes, don't use Betnovate on face. You can use 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide for acne. And you can apply Biluma also for pigmentation. Use a good sunscreen like Photostable Gold daily in addition to this.
