Hello
You had taken azithral 500 mg for 3 weeks and had many side effects, you want to stop the drug.
Now , for you topical solution will be the best.
Adapalene , applied daily to affected areas after washing before bed time, avoiding eyes, lips and mucous membrane.
Exposure to sunlight , including sun lamps should be minimized during the use of adapalene.
You can use clindamycin orally for acne .
But this is a prescription drug ,so take a prescription from your doctor.
Low degree flame for short time also help in few cases . Avoid greasy and oily foods.
Good luck.
