I've been dealing with a dandruff issue and was told by my dermatologist to use Candid B lotion. I'm a bit unsure about how much of it I should apply. Also, once I put it on, do I need to leave it in, or can it be washed off after some time? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

I've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?
