Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Erytop Lotion for the treatment of acne. You may have to use it for a long time before your acne starts to improve. Be patient and keep using it every day. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Erytop Lotion. Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne. It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Erytop Lotion and consult your doctor.

If Erytop Lotion accidentally gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult your doctor if your eyes become irritated.
How long should I use Erytop Lotion?
Use Erytop Lotion for as long as your doctor recommends. You may need to use it for several months to achieve complete clearance of your acne. Initial benefits may take several weeks to appear, followed by a gradual but noticeable improvement. Typically, Erytop Lotion should be used for a maximum of 12 weeks. You may require using more than one tube of Erytop Lotion during each treatment course.
What does Erytop Lotion do for acne?
Erytop Lotion treats and prevents acne by inhibiting the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) that causes it. Acne is a common skin condition, often occurring during adolescence when the skin's natural oil glands produce excess oil in response to normal hormone levels. This can lead to blocked pores (blackheads) and, subsequently, bacterial invasion, resulting in red spots filled with pus (acne).

Erytop Lotion is effective when used as directed by your doctor. Do not discontinue use even if you notice an improvement in your condition. Stopping treatment too early may cause symptoms to return or worsen.
Can Erytop Lotion cause skin rash?
