View allIs there any way to fix the side effects of Betnovate cream? I've been using it on my face for about 6 months and had no idea it was such a strong steroid cream. It's been two years and the side effects are still bothering me. I can't even look at myself in the mirror because my face is completely red and covered with acne up to my neck. I tried IPL last winter, but it didn't make any difference. My face is also super dry now. I'm considering PRP, but I'm not sure if it's the right way to go. Any advice?
The prolonged use of Betnovate cream, a potent topical corticosteroid, can lead to severe side effects like redness, acne, dryness, and skin atrophy; to address these issues, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and potential treatments may include: topical treatments like retinoids, antibiotics, or hydroquinone; laser therapy or intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce redness and promote collagen production; platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which may help stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture; and sun protection, moisturizers, and gentle skincare routines to manage dryness and sensitivity

I'm really struggling with acne, and it's been going on for about two years now. It's like, just when I think it's getting better and clears up, it flares back up and gets worse again after some days. It's so frustrating. I really need some advice or help on this. Why does this keep happening, and what can I do to finally get rid of it?
-It sounds like you're dealing with persistent acne. I recommend a consistent skincare routine with gentle products, and consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, like topical or oral medications, to manage flare-ups.
