Dermatologist 's  Response
hello, betnovate is a moderate potency topical corticosteroid which does more harm than good, if applied as self-medication , as in your case.
The acne, pigmentation appears as to be this steroid induced.
So, no, don't go back to this cream or any other steroid as self medication.
Now, for the problem, use brevoxyl creamy wash to wash your face twice daily
Apply 1% Clindamycin gel locally on the acne post washing
Review after 15 days
Thanks
Take care
