Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like :
-Clogged pores.
-Oily skin.
-Hormonal Imbalances.
-Bacterial infection.
-Inflammation
-Excess sun exposure etc.As far as applying
Betnovate is concerned, it is a steroid based cream and initially they can help by reducing pimples but if used for long term use it can cause skin thinning, increased pimples, redness, itching , increased hair growth on face etc..
You should
consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with
Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply topical ointment containing
Clindamycin and
Benzoyl Peroxide..
Apply
retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time..
Do cool compresses over face..
Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..
You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or
Minocycline and retinoid like
Isotretinoin can also be advised
Avoid oily food..
For dark spots apply creams containing
Kojic acid,
glycolic acid and arbutin..
Vitamin E gel can be applied at night.
Azelic acid preparations are helpful..
You can also go for treatment like
Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
