Comparing Clindamycin Topical vs Spironolactone

For Acne Hello, I am a 18 year old teenager. Yes, I know acne loves to pop up during the teenage age but I've had for more than 5 years. It was really hard for me to be confident when my face is covered in pimples. The only clear spot I have is my temples. After my doctor suggested Clindacin, I was shocked. It burned right when you applied it but that's only because your pores were open. I've been using this for about a week and I've seen major results. My acne has shrunk and some even disappeared! believe me or not but my confidence grows a step higher every time I see one pimple disappear. I still don't have a clear spotless face yet but that's because it's a month long process. I'm only one week into the treatment. I hope this helped! :)

For Acne I have struggled with acne since high school and it has always been a huge insecurity of mine. I have tried many of medications, both topical and oral, and none have ever worked. I am currently using clindamycin phosphate gel, and it was prescribed to use with epiduo gel. However, retinoids like epi-duo are wayyyy too harsh for my skin and the side effects are too present for the benefits of the medication to mean something to me. I stopped using the epiduo after 2 days. I have been using the clindamycin ever since 2x a day and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin! I still have acne, but significantly less, and the clindamycin seemed a lot kinder on my skin. Would recommend!

For Acne I'm 42 and began taking spironolactone and using Differin for adult acne about a year ago. It took almost 8 months to really make a huge difference, but I could see some changes in the inflammation and severity of my acne after about four months. My acne was worse along the jawline and under my jaw, and usually manifested as deep, sore nodules that never really came to a head. I still get some breakouts but the pimples are much smaller and more on the surface, and almost none of them are on my jawline. They also heal much more quickly. The only negative side effects I've had are increased urination and weight gain. I've put on almost fifteen pounds over the last year, mostly in the belly, hips, and thighs.

For Acne I am 42yrs old and have always had problems with acne. I have been through a countless array of topical, laser and medication regimes and this is the only thing that has worked. My skin is clear and no more oil slick. The only thing I am concerned about is the rapid weight gain...It is not a listed side affect but have gained 12lbs since starting in late December.
