Clindamycin gel good for acne
Sir/Ma'am,
I want to ask is clindamycin phosphate gel good for oily and acne prone skin?
i was suggested from one doctor to apply this gel but it didnot showed any effective results on me.
i consulted one dermatologist in jaipur, he said may be its due to hormonal changes occurring in the body as i recently got married.

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice., Only using one cream for acne can cause resistance.
