Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my humble opinion, you should stop using diprovate cream, It is a potent steroid and it should not applied over face as it will damage your skin. Please stop all the over the counter cream that contain steroids. You can apply Metronidazole gel on face for 2 weeks and if you do not get any improvement, please consult your Dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
