[|Human|] Hi Sir,My wife has been using betnovate-n cream for the last 5 years, but she always diluted the cream in water before applying on the face. From the past two weeks she has completely stopped using the cream. She does feel her skin getting dry quite often. Please advice if there are any medicine we can use while withdrawing betnovate n.
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Betnovate N contains a steroid and should not be used for more than 4 weeks even with dilution. If you have used it for 5 years, it would have definitely caused side effects like steroid induced skin atrophy (thinning of skin), whitening, prominent blood vessels and steroid induced rosacea like changes. This causes redness, Chat Doctor.  It is a difficult condition to treat. She could use a broad based sunscreen with SPF 30 every 4 hours and a gel continuing metronidazole at bedtime. If pimple-like rashes appear, she would benefit from oral doxycycline. Remember not to use renovate again. Hope this helps you. Take care.
