How To Remove Itching, Rashes And Redness On Face After Stopping Betamil GM?

Hi. I am using Betamil GM since quite long. Now if I stop using it for few days then I get itching, rashes and feel redness on my face. Is it because of its long term use? Yes, also my facial hair growth had increased. Now I get burning sensation as well on my face. I feel it so much that I have to apply ice on my face. Please suggest me some good cream which I can use during night time to not to have any skin problem. Please advice how to get rid of this.

Hi,

I recommend you to stop Betamil GM cream permanently. I feel really sorry to say this, if you are not going to stop creams containing corticosteroid (example - Betamil GM), you are going to suffer major side effects.

You are suffering from a condition called Topical steroid Dependent face. The main treatment is to stop application of steroid cream. You should visit your Dermatologist and discuss about the treatment options and you can start using steroid free creams after treating Topical Steroid Dependent Face.

Hope I have answered your query.
