Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red pimples on the face which is very common in your age group due to hormonal changes and it could be due to clogged pores of your skin and leading to accumulation of debris and bacteria and formation of pus. I would suggest you to start with application of gel containing clindamycin in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night time.No it is not harmful. Yes weight gain occurs due to use of steroids. You should visit dermatologist once and get yourself examined. Don't use any cosmetics containing much chemicals. Avoid use of topical steroids. Drink plenty of water. Recent methods such as Chemical peeling, dermabrasion, Dermaroller are also helpful.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
