Good evening lybrate-user. Based on your history, you have in all probability developed a condition called - 'topical steroid damaged face'due to years of application of betnovate cream over the face. It requires proper assessment, so you need to consult a dermatologist immediately. Treatment will take a long time and require regular follow up visits. You must be patient while on treatment as years of damage cannot be healed in a week or two.
