Hi Preethi.
Betnovate is Betamethasone Valerate. This a steroid cream. I am surprised that you have been using it for more that 8 years.
I must tell you that steroid creams helps you to become fair by reducing melanin pigmentation. However, prolonged use can lead to some side effects, some of which are dangerous.
The most important Side effects are that It leads to Pimples.
Secondly, when you stop it, there will be rebound pigmentation
Thirdly, its leads to weakening of the skin and causes premature ageing.
So you should stop using it as all your problems are due to this.
Try natural therapies till you regain your normal complexion.
Hope this answers your query.
