  5. I was prescribed Betnovate- N by a doctor when I was 15 for some dry patches on my skin. I used it for about 1.5 years but later when I stopped using it. The texture of my skin has changed a lot. It's itchy, dry, I've blackheads, No pimples thankfully. But I find my skin texture a little rough. What can be done?

Sounds like side effects from prolonged use of Betnovate-N, which contains betamethasone and neomycin. To help improve the texture of your skin and address the dryness, itchiness, and roughness, you can try using a moisturizer containing urea and lactic acid to hydrate and exfoliate the skin. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser to help with the blackheads. Avoid using harsh scrubs or products that may further irritate your skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
