Diprobate rd cream is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Thats why you feel itchy as soon as you stop applying medicine homeopathic medicines have good results. Consult online with details.

Hi Lybrate-User, Diprovate is steroid cream. Looks like your skin has become used to it. But it will cause multiple side effects if its use is continued. So slowly taper it off by reducing its amount and frequency and gradually stop it. Use a good oil free moisturiser frequently for your skin in between. And if acne is persistent you need to consult a dermatologist so that acne treatment can be started.
