hello
Thanks for the query.
You must have taken vancomycin orally or in the form of injection.
Topical clindamycin cream won't cause any reaction.
It is very safe and can be used to treat acne.
For better results you can use a combination of adapalene and clindamycin gel.
Let me know if you have any other doubt
thank you
