Can acne grow on the face with erythromycin ointment?

Erythromycin ointment can be used for acne on the face, but it must be used according to the doctor's advice.

Erythromycin ointment can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria. For acne caused by bacterial infection, it can play a certain role in relieving inflammation and helping to reduce the redness and pain of acne.

However, it is not effective for all types of acne. For example, for acne caused by endocrine disorders and other reasons, the use of erythromycin ointment alone may not work well, but also need comprehensive conditioning.

Pay attention to the correct method when using. Clean the face first, and then apply appropriate amount of ointment gently on acne. Avoid large areas of application, so as not to cause skin discomfort.

Some people may experience skin allergy and other adverse reactions such as itching, redness, swelling, etc. If these conditions occur, stop using it and seek medical attention. In

addition, do not rely too much on erythromycin ointment to solve acne problems. If acne is severe or persistent, seek the help of a professional doctor for systematic diagnosis and treatment, which may need to be combined with other drugs or treatments.
