Clindamycin alone will not help in getting rid of acne. We will have to access the grade of acne and according to it treatment will be in the form of oral tablets and topical creams.

no... treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Good afternoon. It is not advisable to apply only clindamycin as the sole anti acne agent over a long period of time due to the high risk of eventual antibiotic resistance.
