<s>[INST] I have a suffered from acne all my life .. 21 years old and im still not able to get a clear face.. my face has a few pimples here and there and mostly its red or pink scars all concentrated on my cheecks and chin .. i have tried many medications but it would only clear while im on medication and as soon as im finished acne would come back.. my face is oily but with some creams like isotrexin my face gets really dry red and itchy.. i have just started taking clarithromycin 250 mg twice daily for a week but i was woundering if i should be using any other medications like retin-a or clindamycin gel and if i can use any kind of bleaching creams .. my face has become darker in the past while.. thank you [/INST] Hi, Hope you are doing great. Meet a dermatologist and discuss the possibility of rosacea along with acne. The two conditions may coexist. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30. Apply every 3 hours. Wash your face with lukewarm water. Do not use scrubs. Always pat Chat Doctor.  Use a mild cleanser like detail. Use a cream containing Darlene/clindamycin/ atelier acid/glycolic acid. Any of these creams can cause irritation, use a moisturizer like detail to prevent it. Hope this helps you. For more personal advice I need to see your pictures.  </s>
