Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM Diprovate -N contains betamethasone dipropionate which is a potent steroid. It should not be used on face because prolonged use can lead to steroid related side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasis, facial hair growth specially in females. -I would have advised you to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to calm down the skin. -Use a non-soap based cleanser twice daily and avoid using soap on face till your skin recovers back to its original state. -I usually ask my patients with steroid induced acne to take an oral antibiotic like Azithromycin Or doxycycline along with a Topical antibacterial gel like clindamycin over active acne. -It is advisable to use a sunscreen whenever stepping out in the sun because skin damaged by steroids is photosensitive and itches and burns on sun exposure, till the skin recovers back to its original state. take care regards
