I've been dealing with acne issues and had been using clin3 clindamycin nicotinamide gel on my face for about four years. I stopped using it for about 23 weeks to try out some natural treatments, but my skin reacted badly since it's really sensitive and allergic to stuff like steam and lemon. I ended up with redness and itching after trying the natural route. I did use honey and multaani mitti, which didn't react but didn't really help either. So, I went back to using the clin3 gel, but now my face is swollen and sometimes itches. What should I do now? Can you help me out with some advice?

Acne Management: For managing acne long-term, its essential to use a consistent treatment plan that works for your skin. If youve been using Clin3 successfully for years, discuss with your dermatologist whether you should resume it or try an alternative that may be less irritating.
Patch Test: If you're trying any new treatment (natural or over-the-counter), always do a patch test on a small part of your skin first to check for any allergic reactions.

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit confused about how to use Salytar solution for my dandruff. Should I dampen my hair before applying it, or is it fine to just put it straight on dry hair? And after I apply it, do I need to wash my hair with shampoo or will rinsing with water be enough?
apply it on damp hair and wash it off with water and follow your doctors advice
