Pimples on face
I have suddenly started getting acne on my face. Can I use Clindamycin in the morning and tretinoin in the evening. A Dermatologist suggested that long back.

Please do not repeat a prescription given by dermatologist long ago. For example, clindamycin gel is no longer the first choice for acne - due to increasing antibiotic resistance. Consult a dermatologist soon and stick to treatment for minimum 3 months for good results.
