Is erythromycin ointment effective for acne?

Acne is a phenomenon that almost everyone must experience in their lifetime. Acne is a manifestation of endocrine disorders or other diseases. This phenomenon is most likely to occur in young people because their metabolism and endocrine rates are very high, and disorders are prone to occur. Dealing with acne requires a certain amount of patience and special medications. For example, is erythromycin ointment effective for acne?

There is also a dosage form of erythromycin ointment for eye inflammation, called erythromycin eye ointment. They contain different concentrations of erythromycin, with the ointment containing 1% and the eye ointment containing 0.5%.

Erythromycin ointment is not a special acne-removing medicine. The reason why erythromycin has the effect of removing acne is probably because it has anti-inflammatory effects and has anti-inflammatory effects on purulent acne. In addition, studies have found that although erythromycin ointment is widely used, it is ineffective for skin diseases caused by fungal infections, such as tinea capitis, onychomycosis, tinea cruris, and tinea manuum and pedis. Erythromycin ointment may occasionally cause adverse reactions, such as local burning, dryness, itching, erythema, and occasionally urticaria-like reactions. If the above adverse reactions occur, stop using the product immediately.

The effect of erythromycin ointment on nosebleeds: dry weather can make the originally dry nasal mucosa of some people more fragile, so nosebleeds often occur. At this time, you may wish to apply an appropriate amount of erythromycin ointment to the nasal septum, 4-5 times a day. It can disinfect and soften the nasal cavity, moisturize the nasal mucosa, improve the nasal environment, and prevent re-bleeding.
