Is erythromycin good for acne? please advise!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A good addition: There are both topical and systemic preparations. Never use an antibiotic as sole treatment for acne, but as a combination with a topical such as benzoyl peroxide, erythromycin can be great and can even manage many cases of trunk acne.
