I've been using Betnovate GM cream for fairness for the past three years, mostly applying a thick layer at night. Recently, I noticed hair growth on my face and that my skin was getting thinner. When I looked up the side effects, I realized what might be going on. Since I stopped using the cream, my skin's become super dry, flaky, dull, itchy, and covered in red bumps. I'm really worried about this. What can I do to fix my skin condition?
