Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....
As per your complain Betnovate contains a Steroid known as
Betamethasone and long term use of steroids over the skin can have severe side effects like skin darkening, thinning of skin, pimples, overgrowth of hairs etc..
That is why it is not advisable to use it for long..
I would suggest you that if you have pimples you can use
Salicylic acid containing face wash to wash your face, use
Benzoyl Peroxide and
Clindamycin gels to be applied on face after mixing, continue using Acretin that is a retinoid, do cool compresses over pimples and exfoliate your skin twice a week..
Drink plenty of water, avoid oily food and take
Multivitamin supplements and a nutritious diet..
Limit sun exposure..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
