View allI'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?

I'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?
kindly consult dermatologist.
