I was on prednisone for 2.5 months and off for more then 2-3 weeks. I had a acne for more then 2 months. it's finally starting to slowly go away.

my GI gave me Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% and/or clindamycin phosphate topical gel 1%. (I'm still waiting to find out.)

do I need to take them it's starting to go away? I didn't use them yet

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to use clindamycin if you have IBD. I used to be on it and my dermatologist told me I couldn't use topical treatments like that and I had to switch to antibiotics like tetracycline and minocycline. Minocycline completely controlled my prednisone-acne.

If it's going away you might be okay, though.
 
it's slowly going away

Edit
after seeing how long i need to take the cream it's going away prety fast
