I've been using clindamycin phosphate gel for a couple of weeks, and it seemed to be working because my skin was clearing up. I decided to stop the medication, but now I'm suddenly getting small acne spots all over my face. Could this be an allergic reaction or something else? What should I do?

I'm really worried because after I stopped using this cream that I had been applying for a year, my skin's condition has worsened. It's become darker, and I'm dealing with acne and pigmentation, especially around my mouth. Do you think visiting a dermatologist can help me get my skin back to normal and possibly improve my complexion?

I understand your concern about your skin damage after stopping the cream. Damage Reversal and Skin Improvement 1. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment to discuss your skin concerns and determine the best course of treatment. 2. Skin analysis: A dermatologist will analyze your skin to identify underlying issues, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or skin texture. 3. Personalized treatment plan: Based on the analysis, the dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan to address your specific skin concerns. Treatment Options 1. Topical treatments: Creams, serums, or gels containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or niacinamide can help improve skin texture, reduce acne, and fade hyperpigmentation. 2. Chemical peels: A solution is applied to remove the top layers of skin, revealing smoother skin and reducing hyperpigmentation. 3. Microdermabrasion or microneedling: Non-invasive exfoliating treatments that help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote collagen production. 4. Laser therapy: Targets specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, or skin texture. Fairness and Skin Brightening 1. Skin brightening treatments: Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can help reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin. 2. Topical skin brighteners: Creams or serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or licorice extract can help fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. Patience and Realistic Expectations 1. Treatment duration: Depending on the treatment plan, it may take several months to a year or more to see noticeable improvements.

I'm curious about using Kojiglow cream for my combination skin. My dermatologist recommended it, along with a sunscreen to use before applying the cream. I'm supposed to use it for three months. Does this sound safe? Are there any side effects I should be worried about for my skin type?
