  5. I had Tinea Cruris near my crotch, and it's been cured now, but before I saw a proper dermatologist, I was advised to use Betnovate. Now Ive noticed that the skin has thinned out. Is there anything I can do to fix this or improve the condition of my skin?

Betnovate (betamethasone) can cause skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged use._Reversing Skin Thinning_1. _Stop using Betnovate_: Discontinue use to prevent further skin thinning.2. _Moisturize_: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate the skin.3. _Topical creams_: Apply creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide to help restore skin thickness.4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from scratching or using harsh products on the affected area.5. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and adjust treatment if necessary.
