Hi i am currently using dalacin t topical lotion and i have been for two weeks.i have acne and they haven't seemed to have gone down also i think i have milia is there any way i can speed up this process? thankyou so much

Need stronger Rx: Dalacin T is clindamycin and it will fail unless you are also using a topical agent such as benzoyl peroxide as tolerated, i.e., until it's definitely not pleasant. This may work. Otherwise, get with your physician again and consider swapping out the clindamycin for a systemic antibiotic for a while, or if your acne is severe, consider isotretinoin which works but isn't for the faint-hearted.

No: The medication treats new lesions and the old ones have to heal on their own time. Most doctors are careful to not reassess before 2 months because of the need for healing. it makes it clearer what kind of cahnge in medication might be indicated

Follow up: As it turns out Acne is a very complicated skin disease as several factors contribute to it. The antibiotic alone sometimes is insufficient as the hormones causing oil to be secreted is the culprit. Ask your doctor about Accutane

Be patient: Unfortunately, treatment of acne requires a long term solution and patience with some ups and downs in treatment regimens until you and your doctor can be happy with what works best for you. The key is to give a minimum trial of 2-3 months on a regimen, before switching, as any medicine is likely to cause some local irritation on the skin, not to be confused with failed treatment for acne.
