Need to follow proper skin care routine. To start with sunscreen in morning and moisturizer in evening, cetaphil products are budget friendly and for pigmentation needs to be assessed before suggesting any medication, consult plastic surgeon for further details.

Hello doctor, I am 26 years old female. I have a baby of 4 months. I am breastfeeding the baby once or twice a day due to low milk supply. From last 2 weeks I am getting a severe pimples like a rash on face every morning and ending as scars. Before marriage, experienced the same situation then I used betnovate c 30 mg and the problem got resolved. So kindly suggest me that can I use now or not while breastfeeding?

Hi, pls don't use betnovate c since it is a steroid and can cause skin side effects. Treatment of pimples depends on their severity, number, and many other factors. You could apply antibiotic cream or salicylic acid gel like sebonac for a week and see your local doctor for proper assessment.

I'm suffering from itching due to insect bites, can I use betnovate-gm on the areas itching for a fast relieve?
Betnovate-gm is a topical medication that contains betamethasone (a corticosteroid), gentamicin (an antibiotic), and miconazole (an antifungal). It is typically prescribed to treat certain skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and fungal infections. However, it's important to note that this medication should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as indiscriminate use or misuse of corticosteroids can lead to adverse effects. Insect bites can cause different reactions in different individuals, and some bites may require specific treatments. Using betnovate-gm without proper medical advice may not be suitable for your situation and could potentially lead to complications or delay proper treatment if the underlying cause of the itching is not addressed.

Hi, please do not use creams like betnovate on your face. They will further spoil it and cause many side effects.

Yes those are steroid related side effects. The skin will take some time to heal and return back to normal. For now use a gentle cleanser like cetaphil, a good moisturiser for barrier repair like cebhydra cream 4-5 times in a day, a good sunscreen and tab limcee twice a day for 30 days and levocetrizine for itching. For further treatment consult a dermatologist.

Hello lybrate-user. So sorry to hear you had to experience the side effects of bentonovate c. This is a very dangerous medicine to use if not done under supervision. It's a very potent steroid and the side effects are long lasting and take time to heal. Be assured, it will get better with proper treatment. Consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment at the earliest. Best wishes.
