View allI've been using BETNOVATE CREAM regularly for my skin, mostly for fairness and acne, and I'm starting to wonder about the long-term effects. My family doctor mentioned that I shouldn't use it so often. What are the potential side effects of continuing its use? Also, are there safer alternatives that I could consider?
Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.
