I am going to my dermatologist tomorrow after using Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion for a few months with no success. I want a product that will not purge my skin as the Clindamycin has. I NEED to get rid of these bumps before I go camping in 2 months.
My skin tone (though uneven to begin with) seems to be worse than ever before as well. I look like a heroin addict.
My confidence is in the gutter. I'm in tears.
I have lots of small bumps all along my jaw and cheeks now since using Clindamycin. I want to stay away from topical antibiotics regardless, because I know eventually they all stop working.
I suffer from mild-moderate adult acne. I am on Ortho Tri Cyclen BCPs to regulate my hormones. My acne did not occur until last year (I am 25).
I feel that my skin has been purging for a while from the Clindamycin, so I am hoping to experience little/no purging with new product.
What's a good topical RX treatment that works relatively fast with minimal purging?
If your acne is hormonal you should ask for spiro it is a pill but it works wonders for hormonal acne and has little to no side effects. Also they had released a topical spiro you could ask for as well. Spiro stops new ance for coming so you will still need something topical to get rid of the remaining acne. I use witch hazel as a spot treatment or even as a astringent and it works wonders. Really consider spiro though. It been a god send
