I've been using Flutivate cream on and off for about 8 years now. It gives my skin a nice glow whenever I apply it, but if I stop using it, I end up with a rash, and then I feel like I have to start using it again. I'm really not sure what to do. Could you give me some honest advice about this situation?

To break the cycle of dependence on Flutivate cream, consult a dermatologist to create a gradual tapering schedule, explore alternative treatments like topical retinoids or vitamin C serums, and address underlying skin issues to minimize rebound effects and promote healthier skin.

I've been dealing with this pimple on my face and decided to try betamethasone ointment on it. After I washed my face, I noticed that the area where I applied it looked lighter. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or if I should be concerned. Could this be a side effect or does it mean the ointment is working?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

Do you have any idea why this might be happening or what I could do to clear up my skin and prevent pimples and acne?
