Erythromycin
Erythromycin is a type of antibiotic used alone or combined with benzoyl to control acne or other skin bacterial infections.

The treatment normally takes 8 to 12 weeks before its effects are noticeable.
Side effects from Erythromycin are not common. However one of the following may occur: skin redness, dryness, the feeling of peeling, burning, stinging or itching.
Erythromycin is sometimes used to treat other conditions, as prescribed by your doctor.
