Dear Manish,
Hello & Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Pimples or acne is a common youth related problem and its not a disease in itself. It arises by teenage and can continue upto 25 years. As you are just 18 years at this time, so obviously you would be have more of spurts during this peak age of occurrence.
Now as per your history you are using clonate lotion ad erytop. For erytop is a safe medicine but clonate lotion is high potency steroid which can cause atrophy of skin, hair growth and dependence in long term use and rebound acne-form eruptions. So,you should stop using this lotion immediately as it can cause long term side effects.
At this juncture it is better to meet a proper dermatologist with long term follow up where you can best be best benefited. Also do remember whosoever would be treating you have to face two problems, one of your acne as well as your dependence on steroids, so have patience and faith in your dermatologist.
Hope this information may help you. With best wishes for your skin,
Dr Sanjay K Kanodia
