Skin Peeling, Redness, Pimples. Using Xeroderm, Benzac, Elidel. Cure For Symptoms?

Good day, I went to my dermotologist and she prescribed Elidel, Benzac and Xeroderm to use in the morning (all three) . My skin is peeling, its red and I ve got small little pimples . I wanted to know is it because I don t use the Xeroderm everyday? I don t use it all the time because I am always indoors, is Xeroderm for when I go out to the sun or is it for everyday use? Thanx in advance
