Hi,
I can understand your concern for the pimples a in yourself. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say. You have not mentioned your sex and marital status.
ACDERMIN Gel contains clindamycin phosphate 1.2% w/w and tretinoin 0.025% w/w amongst which tretinoin has more of irritation potential and can cause mild to moderate redness along with flaking and peeling of skin.
It is a usual response of the cream and you should not be worried about. The only precaution you should follow is to apply the cream in very thin layer and that too over affected area only.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of acne can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
