I have acne and have been using a benzoyl peroxide-based soap (from Mankind Pharma) and a clindamycin + nicotinamide gel, but there has been no improvement. What should I do next?
If your acne has not improved with a benzoyl peroxide-based soap (from Mankind Pharma) and a clindamycin + nicotinamide gel, it may mean that your current treatment is either too mild or not fully suited to your type of acne, so the next step is to consult a dermatologist who may add or switch to stronger treatments like a retinoid cream (to unclog pores), combination gels, or short-term oral medicines if needed. Also, make sure you are using the products correctly (not over-washing, applying gel regularly, and avoiding picking pimples), use a gentle cleanser and oil-free moisturiser, and give any new treatment at least 4-6 weeks to show results, as acne often needs a tailored and step-wise approach for effective control.
