I have acne on both cheeks. I used Clindac-A Gel, but the problem still persists. Kindly advise further treatment options for acne control.

Clindac-A Gel contains clindamycin, which is an antibiotic commonly used for acne treatment, but acne often needs a combination of treatments and proper skin care for better long-term control. If acne is still persisting on both cheeks, it may be due to excess oil production, blocked pores, hormonal factors, stress, cosmetics, diet, or incomplete response to a single medicine. Using antibiotic gels alone for a long time may also reduce effectiveness over time. Dermatologists often combine acne treatment with medicines such as benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, tretinoin, salicylic acid, or oral medicines depending on the severity of acne. Wash your face gently twice daily with a mild or acne-control face wash, avoid scrubbing or squeezing pimples, and use non-oily skin products and sunscreen. Drinking enough water, sleeping well, reducing stress, and limiting excessive oily or high-sugar foods may also help some people. Acne treatment usually takes several weeks to show visible improvement, so consistency is important. If acne is painful, leaving scars, associated with irregular periods, or not improving with creams, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation because stronger treatment or hormonal assessment may be needed. Avoid self-use of steroid creams on the face, as they can worsen acne and damage the skin over time.
