Stupid acne gel caused erythema.?

Question

This is great!! Just 2 more weeks until my first year of high school, and even better!, tomorrow's my cousin's wedding. I just looked at the side affects for using Stievamicyn and i found 'erythema' which is a disorder that reddens your skin. I already discontinued the stupid acne gel product 2 days ago and it appears that it has gotten better. Forget the wedding tomorrow, but do you think it'll heal in time in 2 weeks for high school. What types of things can I do at home to speed up the heeling process and I looked at possible future complications and this is what i found.

Permanent skin damage and scarring

Occasionally, lesions on internal organs causing:

Pneumonitis (lung inflammation)

Myocarditis (heart inflammation)

Nephritis (kidney inflammation)

Hepatitis (liver inflammation)

Secondary skin infection (cellulitis)

Systemic infection, sepsis

Loss of body fluids, shock

Can this possibly happen just because of a medication, or will it heal after i discontinued it. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Well, I reckon some of those side effects are a bit far fetched. The vehicle that the antibiotic in Stiemycin is dissolved in is alcololic based so it probably irritates your skin although Acnes itself reddens skin.

In all honesty benzyol peroxide, topical antibiotic lotions etc are a waste of money...you're better off with minocycline antibiotic or go for the cure= accutane (Roaccutane)

I went for Roaccutane at 30 years of age! In the waiting room we all talked about our acne and it was the same story..it ruined our lives, we were all single and we wished e'd tried roaccutane in our 20's
