Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Clindamycin cream is a topical lincomycin antibiotic. It is used to treat infections of the skin caused by bacteria. Hence, it can be used as prescribed by applying it over the lesions.
Since, the other symptoms are indicative of allergic reactions, it would be advisable to take Tablet.Levocetrizine once a day, until the rashes subsides completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
