Pimples And Rashes On The Face, Using Diprovate-rd. Any Suggestion?
hello sir i am 32 year old lady who was using diprovate-rd for 5years but recently i stopped using it as i was getting lot of pimples so my skin doctor suggested to stop using it as my skin has become very sensitive. he told me that i need around 3 months to come out of its effect. but i am very sad as i have lost the glow on my face at the same time i have got many rashes on my face. i do not want to use diprovate any more.tell me will my face will become normal.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Diprovate rd is betamethasone lotion and continuous use causes many effect as skin become very sensitive as in your case . It also lower the immunity and many systemic side effects .
But don't be desperate as take Vitamin C tablet twice in day for at least 6 month without any side effect . This will not only increase immunity but skin will glow and normal flora will restore .
For local application use broad spectrum sunscreen lotion.
Hope I have answered your question . If further any question I will help.
Good luck. Dr. HET

Hi pimples on the face are mainly due to prolonged application of diprovate rd cream.it is steriod which causes wrinckles.spots and acne.it should be tapered slowly until the side effects are lost.application of moisteriser regularly can cure the condition .diprovate d only should be used for pathological conditions not for cosmetic purposes
