xmikex 0 Share Posted July 9, 2003 nope. i was on 2 doses of 500mg a day for 3 weeks, along with benzamycin (topical) and my skin just got worse. antibiotics generally aren't an effective way to treat acne, because it usually reappears once you stop taking them.

zitqueen 0 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 wow, i use it topically and it has worked very well without overdrying my skin. I originally used a brand from spain(for 8 months),i ran out recently so i'm using one from the states. not as wonderful but still results are grand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Animal 0 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I've been taking it orally for over 6 months now, but i think it reduced the amount of spots i got every day, from 8 to about 5 . Honestly it's not that effective on it's own, you'll need to take somethin with it or use a topical treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
krysuk 0 Share Posted July 11, 2003 i was on it from february until about 2 weeks ago and it reduced my acne from a consistent 6 cystic and multiple normal type acne at anyone time to about 3-4 small spots and 1 cyctic every 6 weeks.. worked very well, but the last 6 weeks i would say i was beginning to get more acne - but not sure if that is related to the summer heat - have switched to some weird 3rd line anti-biotic as an interim until i have my next derm appointment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMightySirBob 0 Share Posted July 12, 2003 it gave me a skin rash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
krysuk 0 Share Posted July 16, 2003 oh I forgot - it gave me pretty consistent mouth ulcers the whole time - which have stopped now i'm off it - that and it upset my stomache really badly if i didnt take probiotics everyday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acne_suks 0 Share Posted October 3, 2003 i'm on erythromycin NO noticable difference whatsoever...Zero. There's really no point of me taking it besides for thinking that it does something...lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
browndude 0 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Topical worked really well for me for a couple years until it lost it's effectiveness. The oral eryth did absolutely nothing for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashley 0 Share Posted October 3, 2003 i'm on it topically.. and i like it a lot but then again i think its something else with erythromycin in it!! but anyway its called Staticin(the name brand) anyway there werent any side effects except ones i put too much on and then my face started peeling bad!!
