Are Tretinoin And Clindamycin Advisable For Severe Acne On Face?

Hi..I am suffering from acne since last 2-3 years....initially at the age of 18 I had severe acne on my face then I took treatment(TRETINOIN USP 0.025%,Clindamycin 1%, cap nidtroin 20 mg, cap nidze, tab ciptic 500mg and after that cap nimcat,cap oxymore) for approx 5 month and acne cleared mostly. But after 8-9 month of that It again started but with moderate amount( like 3-4) with small pimples permanently. At present it is continuing and getting little bit severe sometimes. Today when I consult to a another doc she prescribed me to take azifast 500 mg and faceclin.
Should I continue this treatment or previous one? And please provide some better suggestion if it is.... Thank u

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC ..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. ..

As per your complain the treatment given to you previously as well as now is a combination of antibiotics and anti Acne medicines as well as the one you prescribed now are also fine..
I would suggest you to go with the present Medication and do not overload the body with too many medications..
You can add up Salicylic acid facewash for washing face..
Do cool compresses over face..
Drink plenty of water and avoid oily food..
Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
