You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take /scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. Apply moisturizer like coconut oil. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Use some sunblock with spf (at least 50) every time you go out in sun. Apply it 30 mins before going out use umbrella when going in sun. Wear full sleeves clothsdrink plenty of fluids. Don?t be stressed. For more details consult online.

Clobetasol cream is a steroid and should never be applied on face. On stopping the steroid there may be increase in acne but it will gradually subside. After examining your acne and determining the severity of acne the treatment can be prescribed.

High potent steroid like clobetasol is never used on face, it wil flare up acne as wel as damage your facial skin with lots of side effects. So stop it ryt now (but steroid should be withdrawn gradualy, otherwise there wil be rebound flare. Generaly we replace high potent steroid with low potent steroid like desonide/ hydrocortisone and you can also add moisturizer )u can continue using clindymycin/ adapalene but visit nearest dermatolgist as soon as possible for assessment of acne grading and treatment accordingly.
