"Was prescribed a Clindagel for PD. Really didn’t do much at all. I know everyone is different, but I honestly wouldn’t waste too much with this. Violet extract dried it up in a couple of days. Also went to a Chinese doctor (TCM) and got herbal tea that has helped a lot! Elidel helps bring down flares as well, but is not a cure."

"Contrary to everyone else, I had a very good experience with this medication. I had very severe perioral eczema and got prescribed this with an oral pill that I think was steroids or something. It cleared up in a month and I finally felt confident and free. I had zero side effects and always applied it after I showered or washed my face. I also used Neutrogena hydration lotion after putting it on too. Now, I use it every so often if I get small flare-ups and it always makes it go away when I put it on as soon as I see it coming back."

"I was prescribed this for dermatitis. I have dry and painful rashes around my eyes. This made it worse. I am so annoyed with my doctor - he always prescribes me the wrong treatment. My skin is stinging from this treatment, and I have awful stomach pains - avoid. It has made my dry skin 10,000 times more dry."

"The clindamycin burns your skin like acid! Do not use! Made my dermatitis 100 times worse after just one use!"

"Been using the topical gel for a month and no improvement. In fact, the gel inflames my condition."

"This caused my facial rash to multiply. It caused tiny white heads and red bumps. I was taking oral antibiotics and added this cream as prescribed. I finished the course of antibiotics and was confused why things were getting worse. I stopped using this, and literally within days, my skin was clearer. It’s expensive too after insurance. Not worth it! My skin also responded well to Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser in case that helps anyone! I moisturize with Trader Joe’s Oil-Free face lotion when my skin is struggling, and Pond's Deep Moisture face cream when things are calm."
