I've been using Betnovate-N cream for about 10 years, usually applying it at night in a thick layer. I stopped using it two months ago, and now I'm dealing with redness, itching, dry skin, and small blisters on my face. I've tried using aloe vera, glycerin, and a Cetaphil cleanser, but I'm still experiencing these issues along with pimples. Do you have any suggestions or remedies to help me get rid of these side effects? I'm really worried about my skin.
