Hello,

Thanks for posting in HCM

I can understand your concern for pimples on face, neck and shoulders.

The reason for acne is mainly due to hormones. In addition this can be due application of creamy cosmetics and skin infection causing its aggravation.

Clinsoft gel contains Clindamycin, which is a lincosamide antibiotic. It is a common topical treatment for acne.

Mode of application: Before you apply this, clean the area with clean cotton soaked with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon. Allow it to dry completely. Then apply the gel only on the pimples with mild massage over it to facilitate absorption. Depending on the severity, you can apply once or twice a day. As the pimples start reducing in size, you can apply only during night time.

Also, take care not to consume oily foods and junk foods in your diet till the lesions reduce completely.

Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
