A member asked:
Is minocyline or clindamycin better for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clindamycin cream is commonly used for acne and usually works quite well. Minocycline is usually taken by mouth and not as reliable. Whichever you have been prescribed, follow your doctor's advice. If uncertain or if either of these isn't working well, see a dermatologist. Good luck.
