A member asked:

Does benzoyl erythromycin gel help acne pock marks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It's okay for keeping the acute lesions under control. I'm sorry you didn't get proper treatment when you developed your scarring. A dermatologist can make them less visible if you wish.

Im using erylik (tretinoin&erythromycin) topical gel. My acne is healing but my skin is getting flaky/dry. Healed spots are still red circles but with no bumps/scars. Should I exfoliate and apply moisturiser? If so in what order should I apply them?
