Hello doctor,I am having pus, acne on my cheeks from a long time but I used to squeeze them off and they will not even leave a single scar, but from the past two months, I am having severe pus, acne, and even I do not touch or squeeze them. They leave a scar and the redness has increased a lot. I am using Clindamycin gel at night time but I cannot see the results. Please help.
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctor. 1. Your acne seems quite inflammatory that is they are very red and with pus formation. 2. You will need oral antibiotics along with topical gels applications. 3.
