Oops: Sounds like you are having a corticosteroid induced acne. Overuse of topical steroids can cause a reactive acne. The only treatment is to refrain from using the topical steroid like betamethasone for a few weeks to months. I would suggest seeing your primary care physician or dermatologist and getting placed on a topical retinol and oral tetracycline based antibiotic to help with the acne.
