Erythromycin : Oral Antibiotic

My acne has improved amazingly, 4 months ago my cheeks, forehead and chin were red and covered in spots where as now my chin and forehead are practically clear and a few spots and redness remains beside my nose. I have been prescribed to take this for a year so hopefully by then my skin will be completely clear.

They did the job accept the fact it doesn't get rid of it completely just the majority Ive been on and off them for nearly four years and it only clears them up a lot not totally away though.

Worked. Plain and simple. I only plan to use it for another week. I had been given a 4 week course, thankfully I will not need it. I used it in conjunction with adapalene 0.3% (brand name: differin) -- which made the results even better. Adapalene works well generally, but when a bad acne outbreak occurs, it can find its self out of its depth, which is where Erythromycin pills gave a helping hand. Just be clear: it's a 5/5 in effectiveness, but that rating is reduced in 4/5 when the -harsh- side effects are taken into account.

I have tried everything on the market and could not get rid of my acne. I finally went to the dermatologist and was given topical erythromycin and it has helped (using it for 6 weeks) and notice a huge improvement in my skin but I also began eating a low glycemic diet. I thought I was eating good but read up on diet and acne and believe there is a relationship between the two. I recommend everyone suffering from acne to try a low glycemic diet but still take one day to eat what you like so you don't give up completey. It was a struggle at first but I realized if I want clear skin I have to sacrafice some things.

After about 6 days of taking 333 MG twice daily, my face was completely clear. All active acne literally shrank away and disappeared. After about 3 weeks, I got about 1 or 2 pimples a week. This was after having about 5 new pimples a day, so this was still a huge improvement. After about 3 months it had lost about 50% of its effectiveness.

I actually have hormonal acne. I am a 24 year old female and Diane 35 worked so well for me. But i can not take the pill any more as i have increased risk of blood clots becuase of migranes. My skin and hair both get very oily. I don't understand why my Dr is treating my hormonal acne with antibiotics. It makes no sense. I want Spironolactone!!!!!! I will however see this through because i am getting desperate.....

Its most definatley better than using nothing. I dont think I will ever be free of spots and when this works it works well enough to enable me to not be paranoid for a few weeks! Also I have been on 250mg dose for about 2 years and get them on the nhs.

i've only been taking the 250 mg tablets twice a day for about three weeks, so maybe i just need to wait a little longer. this seems to have worked for other people, considering it is the second most used antibiotic for acne. hopefully once the blemishes i have now heal, no more new ones will come

I mean the dermatologist looked at me and he prescribed me this so im pretty sure it will work on anybody its prescribed to.If you do try it use it right so you'll get the full benefits of the treatment.

It's a common low cost, risk free treatment against Acne; but there is very few people who actually get the desires results. For me it worked the firsts days, and after that, it was absolutely the same to use or not use it. Due to the low cost and the risk free, it's worth a try, but do not keep high spectation with it.
