Long‑term use of Betnovate GM cream, which contains a potent steroid, can cause significant damage when applied to the face. This may include thinning of the skin, visible veins, wrinkles, redness, and irritation when stopping. Such creams should not be used on the face without medical supervision, as prolonged use may lead to lasting harm. It is essential to consult a dermatologist promptly. They can guide you through a safe plan to gradually withdraw the cream, manage irritation, and recommend treatments to help restore your skin’s health, such as gentle moisturisers, non‑steroidal creams, and protective skincare tailored to your needs.

Betnovate (a steroid) should not be used for pimples because it can make acne worse and cause more skin problems. Betnovate?C (with an antibiotic and antifungal) is also not ideal for acne. For pimples, use a proper anti?acne medicine recommended by a dermatologist.

Since Betnovate can thin your skin, stop using it on your face. For a healthy glow, use a gentle cream with vitamin C, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid, and always apply sunscreen in the morning to protect and brighten your skin.

If you notice facial reactions when using Betnovate, stop the cream immediately and gently cleanse your skin. Apply a mild, fragrance-free moisturiser and avoid harsh products, and consult a dermatologist immediately to treat the reactions and prevent further damage.

For sunburned skin on your forearm, cool the area with cold water or compresses, apply a gentle moisturiser or aloe vera gel, avoid further sun exposure, and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Keep the skin hydrated and wear loose clothing until it heals.
