Hello and Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I understand your concern. The dark spots you mention in query are due to hyperpigmentation of skin. There are certain factor which trigger cell called melanocytes to produce more melanin which causes dark spots. There factors excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, stress and certain medicines. Betnovate is not meant for this purpose also it has steroid content which is not good for long term use. I would suggest you to use cream containing ellagic acid (ectract from strawberries) and kojic acid.

These are very effective natural ingredients and are safe for long term use. Use of vitamin C serum will also be very beneficial. If condition doesn't resolve in 3 to 4 weeks then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation of the condition and treatment. Doctor may recommend procedure like chemical peeling , laser therapy and microdermabrassion.

Hope your concern has been resolved. Let me know if I can assist your further.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
