Hello,



Well betnovate is a steroid and it is not advisable to apply it for face and that too for long duration.

The pigmentation can be a 'rebound' effect of stopping the cream.



Medium dept chemical peels are useful for deeper pigmentation.

Also you can try Q switched Nd:Yag laser for pigmentation.



For home care:

use sunscreen during day time.

apply skin lightening creams which are steroid free you can opt for Vitamin C creams or serums.



Regards
