hi do not apply betnovate on the face.whatever u are suffering noiw is only due to betnovate.post acne pigmentation is subsided with kojic cream twice daily and use cute-E TABLET DAILY ONCE to cure the pigmentation.even if it is not cured it should be treated with chemical peels like glycolic acid or mandelic acid peels.
scars are very tough to treat .they can be icepick scars,boxcar scars.we can try contractebex cream for ice pick scars.the best treatment for scars co2 laser or fractional laser
