Hi,
Treatment for acne takes time. Drugs may start working in a week or two, bit may bee to be taken for 3 to 6 months. Generally, redness does not occur with the treatment.
You should apply the gel only to the pimples. If redness is more or increasing then you should inform your doctor and stop the drug as this may be an allergic reaction to the creams.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
