Hello, Welcome to health care magic.
You seem to have pimples which was made worse by steroids.
Glocin contains clindamycin and is a treatment for pimples. But as you are not having improvement, I recommend you to take a course of oral antibiotics like Doxycycline. Get this prescribed by your doctor.
Use a face wash containing salicylic acid 2 percent twice daily. Avoid sugary foods and Milk products as much as possible.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
