My biggest mistake in my life was listening my mother's advice for applying betnovate c on my face for treatment for acne and pimples on my face and noon advice me to stop it. Recently I got to know that it is a steroid cream and it has ready damaged my skin because it is being almost 5 years I am using it on my face. Recently I came to know that it is a steroid cream. It has made my skin thin and discolored super sensitive and too much facial hairs. At present I can't leave it. If I don't use it on face for a night my face gets red and started itching and generated full of rashes on my skin. So it is my question now that how would I get rid of it.

Whether it is Acne or Rosacea, steroid has to be avoided at any cost. Looks like your skin has become dependant on this. To come out of this you have to be weaned off this gradually. Apply a very low potent steroid cream once or alternate days or every third day and finally stop it. Apply regular face wash, sunscreen and take anti acne treatment. Do consult a Dermatologist.
