Clear all
My derm recently prescribed me erythromycin 2% topical gel. I'm reading some things about ethromycin and benzoyl peroxide. Is erythromycin just a stronger, prescription-strength BP? I've used over the counter BP products in the past and they've done nothing but make my skin worse. I'm scared to start erythromycin if it's just a stronger BP. Help please!
As far as I know erythromycin is an antibiotic...it can be taken orally in pill form or used as a topical. I was prescribed the pill and it cleared my acne up nicely...unfortunately like all antibiotics they stopped working after a while...antibiotics are not the answer in my opinion.
