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 seborrheic dermatitis for like five years now and it feels like I've tried almost every treatment out there. I'm starting to get really frustrated and I'm not sure what else to do. Is there something I might be missing or any other options I should consider?

In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Recently, I had chicken pox and now that the scabs have fallen, I've noticed small white spots left behind in those areas. Will these spots eventually fade on their own, or should I consider seeing a dermatologist? I'm worried about the cost of surgery if it comes to that, so any advice would be really helpful.

That will heal no need to worry,have patience give some time,with time it will settle,use good moisturizer for nourishment.

I'm currently using Perfectil for skin, hair, and nails, as my dermatologist recommended. It's been about a month, and I've got really weak nails, some gaps in my eyebrows, and my skin isn't looking too healthy. Plus, my eyebrow color seems duller. I've been taking one tablet every morning, but I haven't seen any real changes yet. Can you suggest a better supplement than Perfectil?
