Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne problem . Well this is very common problem . There can be many reason for acne like oily skin , stress , over exposure to sun , hormonal changes and skin infection . Clogged duct of sebaceous gland entrapped dead skin and bacteria which causes acne filled with pus or fluid . I would suggest you to take your medicine as per prescription as your doctor has prescribed right medicine . clindamycin is an antibiotics and treat infection . Along with that wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a day with cold water and exfoliate your face once a week to remove dead skin . Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink at least 8 glasses of water .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
