Hi i was asking is fouyera clindamycin phosphate gel usp 1% good for nasal acne and my nose is a bit swollen because of the acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While topical Clindamycin is effective for mild acne, it should never be used by itself without benzoyl peroxide. I usually recommend over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash at least 5% in addition to clindamycin. Retinoid products however are essential to a good acne regimen.
