General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Recurrent cystic fibrosis can be treated by applying Clindamycin ointment or by applying a topical ointment containing 2% benzoyl peroxide. Ice compression is also effective. Apply an ice cube or cool pack in a cloth and apply to the pimple for 5–10 minutes. Repeat this after taking few minutes break. Doing this regularly is effective. Yes, since Accutane suits you, you can take a course to get relieve. You are suggested to visit a dermatologist for further management & flawless complexion.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
