I've been using Betnovate N for a while, and I just stopped about four days ago. I'm noticing some side effects and it's really concerning me. I'm trying to figure out what the right medication would be to help improve my skin condition now. Could you give me some advice on this?

It's important to gradually taper off the use of Betnovate to avoid withdrawal effects. To improve your skin condition and manage any side effects, you can consider using a mild topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream along with a moisturizer like Cetaphil. Additionally, you can use an emollient like E45 cream to help repair the skin barrier. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions for each medication.

I've been dealing with this itching problem for almost 25 days now, mostly in the lower part of my body. It started on my thighs and around the genital area. I used Fourderm cream, and the itching in the genital area got better, but my thighs are still really itchy. Now, it's even affecting the area below my knees, with the intensity changing day by day. Some days it seems to get better, and then it comes back. I've also noticed small red spots on my thighs but not below the knees. I'm really worried about what could be causing this and what I should do next. Can you help?

according to your description it can be reccurrent fungal infection please follow these measures 1. Keep the area clean and dry: Wash the affected area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly, especially after exercising or sweating. 2.
