It has been 3 days since I started applying Clinsol Gel (Clindamycin 1% + Nicotinamide 4%), and after application, I feel a burning sensation for about an hour. Is this normal?
Mild stinging or burning can occur when starting Clinsol Gel for acne treatment, as your skin adjusts to the medication. However, if the burning lasts for an hour and continues after 3 days, it could indicate that your skin is too sensitive to the product. Persistent or intense irritation is not normal. It’s best to stop using the gel and consult a dermatologist to assess your skin’s reaction and determine whether to continue treatment, adjust the frequency, or switch to an alternative.
