Re: Treatment of Acne

Check hormonal levels, acne is a common skin disorder and curable one. Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic gel that is used to treat bacterial infections such as acne. It prevents the growth of bacteria on the
skin. You can get Clindamycin 1% GEL 10GM at International Drug Mart at discount price. This will surely help.
