Brief Answer:
Nilac gel alone may not be sufficient.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX Hi
Good afternoon!
I can understand your problem.

Nilac Gel contains antibiotic Clindamycin & a Vitamin B supplement Niacinamide
It is a common & effective topical treatment (in the form of gel) for acne.
However sine you have red painful swelling you may also need a NSAID pain killer like Ibuprofen to reduce the signs of inflammation like redness and pain.

Hope to have answered your query.
