I've been using Betnovate N for over three months to treat dark spots from acne on my face. But whenever I stop using it, my skin becomes itchy and starts burning again. I really want to find something that'll help me stop using it without those side effects. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for medications that could help?

I'm really concerned because I have these white birthmarks that are spreading slowly, and I feel like they're making me look unattractive.
