Question

I've been using Betnovate N since I was 15 for these dry patches on my skin. I stuck with it for about a year and a half, but after I stopped, my skin's texture really changed. It got super itchy and dry, and now I have blackheads. Luckily, no pimples, but my skin does feel a bit rough. What can I do to fix or improve this?

Sounds like side effects from prolonged use of Betnovate-N, which contains betamethasone and neomycin. To help improve the texture of your skin and address the dryness, itchiness, and roughness, you can try using a moisturizer containing urea and lactic acid to hydrate and exfoliate the skin. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser to help with the blackheads. Avoid using harsh scrubs or products that may further irritate your skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
