A member asked:
Will it be more effective if i put more clindamycin topical lotion on my pimply skin or should i just stick to applying a thin layer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More is not always b: It common for people with acne to apply too much medication on their acne which can actually make the condition worse. Improvement takes weeks or even months when treatment does help. The manufacture package insert, the prescribing doctor, and the pharmacist can help clarify how to apply your medication and how much. 2 general rules to follow, be gentle with your skin & be patient with your skin
