I have consulted a skin doctor for my dark area under chin and pimples. I was prescribed to use clindamycin & nicotinamide gel for two times a day. Do I need to apply all over the face or only on the affected parts.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Apply the clindamycin cream to the affected areas of your face, making sure not to irritate any acne lesions. Make sure you wash your hands immediately after using clindamycin cream to avoid leaving the medication on your fingers. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Apply it where you can afford to have side effects.

Please apply it only on the affected area of the face at night. And apply sunscreen in the morning.
