How many months does it take for clindamycin phosphate topical gel to cure mild acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not curable: Acne isn't curable. Clindamycin should not be sole therapy, but used with topical benzoyl peroxide or something similar. It's a way of managing moderate acne. If you're not clear on it in two weeks, get with your physician -- you'll need stronger Rx.
