Dear friend
Yes you are right. This medicine can cause paper thin skin with acne. It increases bacterias on skin surface and results in acne. After using antibiotics like doxycycline acne reduces.
Hope my answer helped you. kindly give positive feedback.

General & Family Physician Dr. Sandip Sanap's  Response
Clobatosole propionate is a steroidal drug. Application of steroids locally often cause acne.
I would recommend stopping use of the ointment immediately if you are still using it. For treatment of acne I would sugest-
Wash face regularly 3-4 times a day with a gentle soap. Apply Retinoid ointment with a local antibiotic ointment like Clindamycin with benzyl peroxide combination. An oral course of antibiotic like Amoxycillin after consultation with your doctor.

Other skin problems like thin skin will improve with time. The increase in your blood cortisol is not due to use of the ointment as Clobatosole is not absorbed in blood through skin to that extent.

Hope this answers your question, Thank you.
