Discontinue betnovate N without much effect. 2. Remove dark spots on face permenantly. 3. Is laser treatment a good option. regards

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It seems you are having some sun related black spots like freckles. Betnovate N is a steroid used only for eczema. It is not advised to apply on face. Stop it completely. You can use a mild steroid like hydrocortisone for few days. This will avoid flare up which occurs after stopping betnovate.
Avoid sun as far as possible. Apply a good sunscreen at day time. Such type of pigmentation can be treated by chemical peels, lasers etc. You can consult a dermatologist for this and get treatment accordingly.
Hope this will help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. R. G. Joshi
