I've noticed that my beard growth is really sparse, which means I can only manage a French cut style. I'm curious if there's any good medicine out there that can help with this. Any suggestions on what I can try?

I'm really worried because I've been using Betnovate N on my face for the past 7-8 years, and now that I know about the side effects, I want to stop but keep facing immediate reactions when I try to. What can I do to safely discontinue using it without experiencing those side effects?

To safely stop using Betnovate N after 7-8 years, consult a dermatologist for a gradual tapering plan, and consider using alternative topical creams or oral medications to manage withdrawal symptoms like itching, redness, and dryness.
