Yes: It may take 1-2 months before full effect is realized.

Facial rash: The itching and fine rash may be caused by the clindoxyl gel. You could apply it more sparingly or even try stopping to see if it clears up. Also, if you can call the doctor who prescribed both medications to discuss, that would be the best course to follow.
