Used betnovate-n cream on face for pigmentation problem. Skin not evenly toned. Any other non-steroidal cream?
Patient: hello doctor,im a female. i used to use betnovate-n cream on my face(alomost 3+ yrs) only at night, in minimum quantity for pigmentation problem on my face well it did give out good results but later i got to know that its steroidal cream and i should stop using tht cream. Thank God that it didnt spoil my skin tht badly after i stopped using it..its been 1 and half yr tht i stooped using it however my skin on the face i not very even toned. n i do see very light pigmentation on the face(well its not very dark but its there) could u plz suggest wht cream i sud use? however i have been using kojiglo n yugard cream(suggested by the oliva clinic dermatolagist) on the face every alternate night. plz let me know which the best non-steriodal cream for pigmentation and plz let me know if kojiglo n yugard are good creams. Doctor: hi welcome to hcm. betnovate-n cream over face is not good. its a potent steroid and it has many side effets specialy over the facial skin. acne,thinning of skin,rosacea etc may happen due to it. i have seen many cases who damaged their skin completely due to betnovate use. it should not be stopped suddenly.it should be gradualy tapered. as you have asked about kojiglo and yugard, these are good. you can use them without those side effects. it may take long time to have the effect. dont loose hope. apply regularly under supervision of your dermatologist. dont wory. good luck
