A member asked:

I have used benzaclin (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) for years and now my skin is immune to it. what is the next step?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflamed?: Inflammatory acne responds well to antibiotics but long term use often selects for resistance. To reduce the inflammation, i like the at home use of the tria blue light system which all ages and skin types can use. Most patients also benefit from a retinoid preferably prescription strength as a mainstay for any acne regimen.
