Hi Im Kelly and Ive been recently struggling with an acne problem I thought was resolved :(. I have been taking minocyline for the past 3 months and recently was taken off of it by my derm. Also, I was on trentinoin .05% and clindamycin 1% gel along with the minocyline. I am still on the prescription gels however upon coming off the pill a week or two ago my face has consistently gotten worse breaking out. Shouldnt the gels be preventing that? Will this get better with them or should I ask to go back on minocyline?

Using clindamycin for a long time is not very useful as bacteria might develop resistance to it, I guess you should go back to your derm and look for other options
