Pimples and scar
I have cystic acne on my face due to pcod. My doctor prescribed clindamycin and adapelin gel to be applied on the scars for 3 hours, during 6pm to 9pm. I have been using mixture of aloevera gel and liquorice powder twice a day morning 8am and evening 5 pm, as a remedie for tanning. Is it ok to countinue using aloevera gel and liquorice powder while along with clindamycin and adapelin?. Could it cause any harmful effect for scar?.

Basic reasons for pimples is blockage of sebaceous gland ducts. So if you apply lot of things on your face it will get block more. I dont think clindamycin and adapelene will improve your scar too much. Dont use too much aloevera it wl cause more pimples.
