I used hydrogen peroxide, and Ginger's cleared up within two weeks. You might just try that instead.
Not certain if Stridex is poisonous, but I assume not, since I've seen it recommended for kitty acne on quite a few sites online.

My vet recommended stridex. I didn't use it, got some prescription cream instead.

I have used Hydrogen peroxide with better results than the other options... cept for Zoey the cream way the only way
My vet also recommended using any type of clear alcohol, such as vodka or gin. It doesn't seem to burn like Stridex and worked great on my cat. I just purchased one of the tiny airplane size bottles of vodka and used it with cotton balls.
I was cat sitting and my friends cat had some acne. Her vet gave me some
?pledjets that were basically stridex type pads.. Can't remember what the ingredients were but I wouldn't be surprised it it was the same thing.
