How to treat steroid-induced acne?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have steroid-induced acne for the past one month. I have had to deal with a constant amount of pustules per day. I had tiny bumps that turned into pustules, and this happened very fast. I am not getting new bumps, but there are still some bumps left. I do not want them to turn into pustules, or I want them to disappear. What is the best way to treat this condition? can you state the products and ingredients because some of the products you mention might not be available in my country?

Kindly help.
