Thank you for the query.it is not clear why was betnovate started on face.You have become steroid dependent.withdrawal of steroids is causing this.You have to have patience when rashes appear back after withdrawal and not revert back to it .you may taper slowly(over a period of month) betnovate application and gradually increase applying antibiotic creams like clindamycin.you can get back to me with photos directly.
