Hi,

Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say. I can understand your concern of acne or pimples.

You can use clindamycin or clarithromycin 1% for topical gel application. There is no harm in using it. Clindamycin and clarithromycin gel are topical antibiotic gel and do not cause any side effects. This do not cause side effects in any age group so can be used very safely.

As a mainstay you need certain oral treatments depending on grade of acne. Do not take any other medications as can cause side effects in future and further complications.

Take care.
