HI Nidhi,
Why did you use Betnovate N at the first place? was it for acne? do you still get acne?
if yes, consult your dermatologist regarding the possibility of PCOS. Hair growth on your face may be either due to betnovate or PCOS. continue using elyn cream.

Dear Nidhi, Welcome!
Betnovate-N cream is a strong steroid cream & is NOT meant to be applied on sensitive skin of face. It can cause side effects & problems of hair you are having is due to this only. As you have stopped the cream, hair will go slowly. Your doctor has prescribed correct treatment (Elyn cream). Stick with it. Good luck.
