Hello,

I can understand your concern for acne. After analyzing your query with diligence I can make out that you want to experiment with monistat.

Monistat is an antifungal agent and is never used for the treatment of acne. In my patients I suggest them to use a gel containing clindamycin and to take a tablet containing Doxycycline for recommended period of time. You can take further guidance from your treating doctor.
All the best.
