Can topical clindamycin effect ibs? i have ibs, and use clindamycin only on my face and upper neck for acne, once a day. my formula is 2% azelaic acid, 1% clindamycin, and 4% niacinamide. i do not take anything for the ibs, just lifestyle management

Clindamycin: Topical clindamycin can be absorbed through the skin and has been known to cause diarrhea and, uncommonly, severe intestinal inflammation. Dermatologists have more experience with side effects of topical clindamycin,however.
