Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Using steroid creams will cause acne and will also worsen acne. This is called as steroid induced acneiform eruption.
Please stop betnovate cream.
You could continue the tablet and gel prescribed by your doctor.
You could also use Benzoyl peroxide and Adepelene combination gel at bedtime instead of plain Adapelene.
You could also get salicylic acid peels done by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
