I've been using Betnovate N for quite a while now, and I've noticed my face has gotten a lot darker. I'm really worried and I've started using sunscreen, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Do you have any advice on how to brighten my skin again? Also, I've heard about PRP therapydo you think it might help in this situation?

While PRP therapy can be helpful for overall skin rejuvenation, it may not be a quick fix for pigmentation caused by long-term steroid use. It is best to focus on a brightening skincare routine with ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinoids, along with regular sun protection. If your pigmentation persists, laser treatments or other professional treatments may be helpful.

Ultimately, its crucial to consult with a dermatologist to receive tailored advice and treatments
