Gave me a stinging sensation and more spots than I would have without using it

Great! Why do people say they get immune to the topical treatment. It dries up your pimple- how can you get immune to that. Well it works very well for my family and I. Good luck! Ask your dermatologist about it!

Tried the topical form (zineryt)which worked brilliantly but only for about 6 months when the bacteria became resitant.

i was prescribed erythromicin, to be used alongside dienette (contraceptive pill) and diferin cream, my skin really cleared up with the red blotches and blemishes going, however after stopping the medication the whiteheads returned so i have to start all over again. erythromicine was prescribed on the nhs, so i paid £6.40 per month.

I take erythromycin as tablets - 4 a day. It has really helped clear up my cystic acne and with little side affect.
