I've been using erythego gel for my Rosacea for about a year and a half without issues since it was prescribed by my doctor. But lately, I've developed contact dermatitis, and now every time I apply the gel, it seems to make things worse. Could the gel be causing my contact dermatitis?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Erythego gel contains erythromycin, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne and rosacea. However, some individuals may develop an allergic reaction to erythromycin, leading to contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of erythego gel and consulting with your doctor for an alternative treatment option for your rosacea.

View allI'm just wondering how serious Molluscum Contagiosum is and what steps I should take to make sure it doesn't spread everywhere. What should I be looking out for, and how can I prevent it from affecting others around me?
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that is generally not considered serious, especially in healthy individuals. However, it can be contagious and spread easily through direct skin-to-skin contact or by sharing personal items. To prevent spreading it further, it is important to avoid scratching or picking at the lesions as this can release the virus and spread it to other areas of the skin. It is also advisable to keep the affected areas clean and covered to prevent contact with others. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing, can help reduce the risk of spreading the infection. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend treatment options such as cryotherapy or prescription medications to help clear the lesions.

I've been getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?
For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.
