Erythromycin Reviews

works a little not much been using for 2 weeks

I used Erythromycin solution for 4 years and it completely cleared my acne. I started to break out again in my late 20's. I went to a dermatologist and he said I am now resistant to the erythromycin. When it worked, it worked well. I now am on benzaclin, no results yet.

While I was on it, it worked for a little, a month after I was off of it I got worse than before. It messed up my stomach. Antibiotics are really bad for your system. I wouldn't recommend this drug.

Am 25 and have trouble spots on chin and cheeks--use an applicator liquid erythromyicin...it certainly helps but one must be very vigilant about using it. Not a bad solution for mild to medium acne--doctor insists on washing hands before and after applying, and there is some itchiness.

Try the oral doxy and other antibodics till I got immune..try using this medication since it worked so well for my sister...tred it with the doxy and then try without alone with regular wash washing with a salyic aid cleanser and a ..worked better cleared up my acne in a week.

30yr old guy, kinda resigned to acne for life ! Mind you its mild and if I look after my self its not too bad. Some years are fine, others bad. Just had a breakout, lived with it for a few months, but didn't get better - went to doctors and got Differin, thought would work and kill the wrinkles! Didn't work, made my skin smooth, but sore (especially after washing) and grew my blackheads to monster size!. Went back to doctors, got Zineryt (Eryth and Zinc Acetate) works v well - all spots & blackheads gone in 2 weeks - immediate overnight improvement. However, Im aware of the resistance issue with anti bacs and now the acne has gone will control my skin with Differin again, as I think it works better as a "skin conditioner" than an acne treatment.

i use the lotion, zyneret...used it twice before, its brilliant until you stop using then the acne comes right back, i get from the nhs so im lucky...

I Have been using Erythromycin(oral) and benzoyl peroxide (lotion) for 3 months and it has made a significant difference on my skin. I'm so happy!!! Had really bad acne before but now my skin is almost completly clear! Yay!

I've had this stuff for around 2 and a bit months, and havent seen that much diffrence.
I used to have around 1 little pimple on my face, but a few months ago i started getting a few more - knowing that my dad and brother had very bad acne i quickly went to the doctor who prescribed this.
I went back a month later, telling him that it hadn't worked, and he suggested me taking it in the oral form, but i wanted a dermatologist.
I had my referal letter, and went to see the derm, but he said i needed longer for it to work and telling me it wasnt that bad because most of my friends have it too.
Well hes wrong, im the only one in my group who has "mild acne" (about 4 pimples and lots of under the skin spots on my forehead).
Now im coming up to 3 months, and my acne hasnt been that bad, but that may be cos im not on my period as it seems to go really bad before then.
I do feel bad about complaining, especially when i see people in my school who have acne way way way worse than me. It's just, i am very self concious about it - i used to have a great life, and now my friend group at school is splitting, im im left redunt behind it all, so im stressed - maybe thats making my spots worse.
But i just wish it would work quickly! x x

I used "Zineryt" - its a liquid with erythromycine and it worked mostly when i started but not so much, and after a month the effect almost faded away. it created many scars in my face .
