Evoclin and Stinging

Recently, we have received many phone calls regarding the fact that Evoclin Foam can occassionally sting the skin with use. It is important to realize that alcohol is necessary in order for the active antibiotic, clindamycin to be put into the foam vehicle. As a result, this alcohol component may burn at times.

Evoclin has the advantages of being used on any part of the body, fast absorption without leaving any residue and a once a day indication (most topical clindamycin preparations are ideally applied twice a day). However, if the winter weather has your skin a bit more dry and the foam is irritating, contact you doctor and see if a clindamycin lotion may be substituted.
