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 thinking about switching from Finpecia to Finalo 1mg because it's a bit more affordable. Is Finalo a good alternative, and are there any other cheaper brands youd recommend? I'm just trying to find a cost-effective option thats still safe and effective.
