View allI'm a bit concerned because I've been using Betnovate cream on my face for skin lightening over the past 5 years, like every other day or sometimes thrice a week. Is this safe to keep using in the long run? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

I've been using Tugain 5 solution for almost 10 months now, and it's really helped with my hair loss and even encouraged some new growth. But recently, my scalp has become incredibly itchy, almost unbearable, and there's some dandruff forming too. The irritation is so intense I'm considering stopping the treatment altogether, but I'm worried about going back to losing hair. What can I do to soothe this itchy scalp and keep using Tugain without these problems cropping up?
Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
