I've noticed that every time I have a hot bath or shower, my face stays red and feels like it's burning for a few hours afterward. It gets better with ice, but only when the skin is cool. There's no rash, just redness and warmth when I touch it. Should I be worried about this?

I'm wondering if clindamycin phosphate gel works well for oily, acne-prone skin. I tried it because a doctor recommended it to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I checked with a dermatologist in Jaipur who mentioned that it might not be effective due to hormonal changes, especially since I recently got married. Does that sound right to you? Is there something else I should consider?

yes hormonal changes. COntinue clindamycin phosphate gel.
