I don't think this cream should be used on the face for more than 5 days. I would get a referral to a skin specialist for the underlying condition and explore cosmetic solutions for the unwanted hair growth.

Do you have GCA or PMR? That's what the folk on this forum have and discuss. There maybe a more useful forum for you if you don't.

As SheffieldJane says Betnovate is a strong steroid cream to be using on your face, how long have you been using it for & what reason?

I really think you need to see the doctor who prescribed it for you for advice, it's a very long time to be using betnovate on your face, maybe a change of cream is in order?
