I've been using Betnovate N for the past 5 years, but I stopped about four months ago, and now my face is itchy and there's a lot of pigmentation. I've seen four dermatologists so far with no improvement. My skin is just not getting better, and I'm really frustrated. What should I do? Nothing seems to help with the itching and pigmentation.

long-term usage of betnovate would make your skin sensitive and thin ,this might be the cause of your condition,don't resume betnovate anymore and moisturize your face often,it heals with time don't worry.

I'm noticing these kind of spots on my foreskin and glans area, and I'm a bit worried. They don't itch or bother me, but I can't help but wonder if they're something serious. I've seen a dermatologist who mentioned they might be fordyce spots. Could these spots appear on the glans as well? Just trying to figure out if it's normal or if I should be more concerned.

no need to worry they are harmless and cane be grown over tip of the penis too,if they are bothering in terms of size and number visit dermatologist for appropriate tretament.
