Erythromycin Retin-A: Yes you can use Erythromycin and Retin-A at the same time. Each treats acne in a different way. The Erythromycin reduces the bacteria that cause acne and the Retin-A helps to exfoliate your skin (amoung other good things).

Yes: The Erythromycin is an antibiotic solution which helps to kill the p. Acne bacteria. The retin a (tretinoin) helps to increase cell turnover and stimulate blood supply. One would definitely want to use good sun protection and use these agents under the supervision of a specialist.
