Im a 20-year-old female and Ive been using Betnovate cream regularly for fairness and acne. My family doctor told me not to use it so often, but Im not sure why. Can you tell me what the side effects of long-term use are? And are there better alternatives I can try for acne and fairness?

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.
