A member asked:
Hi doctors. what are difference between medicated toner and clindamycin solution? which is more effective for pimples, redness & skin discoloration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both good: Medicated toners are usually salicylic acid over-the-counter while Clindamycin is a prescribed antibiotic. They can be used together, or you can use Clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide. If the acne's on your trunk, your physician may add a systemic antibiotic for a short time. Glad your acne is being managed.
