My doctor prescribed (transvasin heat rub cream) for my face acne. it says it is for muscular pain. is it ok to use it?

Not drug of choice: you should avoid any burning mediciation. I would suggest using either 5 or 10% bezoyl peroxide cream or gel. Please consult with your private physican. The muscle creams contain irritants.
