Can I Use Betnovate For My Face As It Is Itching After Using DIY Yogurt Oat Mask ?

Hi, I ve been using self DIY yogurt oat mask for 2 days, I realized my skin has gotten dry that it started peeling, and it s so itchy that I keep scratching. I also found 2 red marks on my face on my peeling area and it hurts to the touch. What can I do? I have no money to go to the doctor now. for now, can I use betnovate 0.1% cream on my marks?

Hi,Rachel,
Thanks for query,
Apply some good moisturizing cream on your face.
Take tab.cetrizine for itching as and when required.This will stop itching and your red marks on face will be alright.
You may apply betnovate cream on red area on the face for few days if there is no improvement with moisturizing cream.
Ok and bye.
