Clindamycin topical Alternatives Compared

For Acne: I love this medicine! I’ve only been using it for about a month and see major results! For even better results, use it with “Acne Medication 5 Benzoyl Peroxide Gel USP, 5%” They work like a dream together! Though, it made my skin peel the first week I used it, so be careful! After about 2 weeks of use, the peeling stopped and my skin looked amazing! I noticed my acne scars beginning to blur and I’ve never seen my skin look better. Highly recommend, but be cautious of the peeling! Don’t be panicked of it, I believe it’s a side effect. It’ll go away before you know, so don’t stress over it like me. Good luck!

For Acne: I have suffered with severe acne on my face and back for years now. I can't recall when it first became a serious health issue that impeded on my personal, social, and sexual life; but a good guess would be that the severity increased around seventeen years old. I am now twenty-two. My acne is worst on upper back - extremely painful cystic lumps, as well as enormous whiteheads. I can't reach these to treat, and popping leaves unsightly scars; as well as being excruciatingly painful. The acne on my back has caused me many sleepless nights due to pain, swelling, and discomfort. I also have had acne on my face that causes a large amount of pressure, migraines, and whiteheads on my chin. Two weeks on this, and it's clearing up very well! NO s/a

For Acne: I’ve had Moderate/Severe acne for 4 years. I have tried numerous topicals and cleansers. I have given each and every one a solid amount of time to start kicking in. Every single time it has gone through the purge stage. Then it always started looking better which lead to my excitement. But every single time my excitement dropped like Leonardo DiCaprio in titanic. I recently started my journey of doxycycline along with retin-a about a week ago. Although I feel as if I’m reaching the “purge” stage, I also feel as if the inflammation has been reduced which is what doxycycline is supposed to do. Retin-a has also dried up my face which helping with old scars. So even though the doxy may be causing some breakouts, it’s also reducing inflammation along with retin-a eliminating red pigmentation left over from old acne. so far I like the combo.

For Acne: it’s been two months since I started using doxycycline. Guys, oh boy, it TRULY gets worse before it gets better. It took so long for me to see any improvement. Now a few parts of my face are pretty clear, but I've still got a ways to go. I think doxycycline is worth a try, but know what you’re getting into. It won’t get better in a week like I thought it would, it’s a long process.

For Acne: I was put on it for “hormonal acne” which is what my derm referred to it as. I only had big bumps around my mouth/chin, around my hair line, and my temples. It was nothing severe but definitely noticeable. She put me on 50 mg spironolactone a day and after 3 months there was only slight difference. She then decided to put me a dose of 100 mg a day and it worked like a charm. My skin purged SO bad for about 6 weeks and then it started clearing up. It made me extremely thirsty and made me lose my appetite because it sort of made me nauseous. But over all, it works great in my opinion

For Acne: I was put on 100 mg spironolactone for moderate to severe cystic acne nearly 2 years ago. I didn't really notice any side effects except extremely inconsistent periods and slightly increased urination. My skin did purge for somewhere between 4 to 6 weeks but after that my acne almost completely cleared, with a few small pimples here and there. After about 9 months, I started getting some cystic pimples but no where near as bad as before. Currently I would say I almost always have at least 1 (non cystic) pimple, with breakouts and up to 3 cystic around my period. It's not perfect, but I'm grateful for spironolactone and the amount it's cleared with minimal side effects (for me) so I would highly recommend people with PCOS related acne give it a go.
