dear,
as widely used practice of applying betnovate c on face which depigments ur skin and it appears farer, but to enlighten u i will say betnovate contains betamethasone which is a steroid and topical steroid also have significant side effects, like thinning of skin /depigmentation and rashes, if u stop it abruptly it wll have adverse effect so wean off them slowly like use on alternate day and than 1 in 2 days and alter 1 in 3 days and so on..but request you to stop it as it will make ur skin very bad in long run.
thanks.
