Hi. For such topical steroid dependant face (tsdf) the drugs like betnovate gm shouldn't be stopped suddenly as there wil be flaring of the condition. And if you continue using such cream it wil severely damage your skin. Visit a dermatolgist for assessment of the skin condition and gradual tapering of the medication. Thanks.
