Zindaclin is a topical clindamycin gel, and it's one of the antibiotics dermatologists commonly prescribe for managing hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). It works by targeting bacteria on the skin and helping to reduce inflammation associated with HS flares.
Here are some key things to know about using it for HS:
- It can be effective on its own, but many people with HS need it as part of a broader treatment plan
- It's often combined with other treatments like benzoyl peroxide, hormonal therapies, biologics, or corticosteroids
- Using it alongside benzoyl peroxide may help prevent antibiotic resistance, which is when bacteria adapt and stop responding to the antibiotic over time
One thing worth knowing is that antibiotic resistance is a real concern with long-term use of clindamycin. Pairing it with benzoyl peroxide is one way to help reduce that risk.
As always, it's best to check in with a dermatologist to find the right combination of treatments for your specific situation.
