Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain I would like to inform you that Diprovate G cream is a steroid based cream containing Betamethasone Dipropionate. Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing inflammation and pimples/spots.. But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hairgrowth and dilated veins under the skin.. Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc.. I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you a low potency steroid cream that has to be used for a week regularly and then gradually tapering down the use and then will be stopped gradually.. You can wash your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash.. You can be advised to apply creams containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl peroxide.. Do cool compresses on face and wash face with cool water.. You can apply cooled aloevera gel on face to soothe the skin.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
