Hi Teddy,
For which problem you are using clobetasol dipropionate cream on face since this long time that you haven't mentioned.
Most common use of this cream is in eczema.
Now,any steroid whether in topical,tablet or injectable form, used in skin diseases should be proper and after curing the problem,its withdrawal should always be gradual otherwise there can be a withdrawal syndrome. For that you can ask your dermatologist for how to withdraw.
For your face acne,irritation you must take a dermatologist's advise.
Always follow your doctor's instructions.
