DEALING WITH SKIN DAMAGE
I’ve been using Betnovate on my face for the past few years, and I’m concerned about steroid-induced thinning and TSW. My skin is currently red, dry, and dull. Even a Niacinamide serum caused a reaction recently. I'm currently using Himalaya face wash and ponds lightweight gel moisturizer —can you help me create a plan to thicken my skin and repair the damage safely?"

Yes young lady... Any Qualified Dermatologist can help you sort your skin out but will take a little time as judging by your history, this is long term damage caused by the indiscriminate use of steroids.
Clear digital pics 📥 will be useful to understand the status currently more visually and accurately.
Since you apparently hail from Ghaziabad, do consider an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation on this App to connect with me and to explain a clear management action plan tailor made for you to help repair the damage🙏
