The same thing happened to me. Stop using the perscribed stuff and put a non-oil lotion on your face everyday and make an appointment with your doctor ASAP. Its not fun!
Reply:Im not a doctor but this is my best suggestion. Go to ER. They cant not admit you, another doctor will have to figure out what is going on. Might suggest something else. But in this case if the other doctor totally messed up you have a record.
Reply:Sounds like you may be having an allergic reaction to it.


Especially if your face is swelling and itching.





Stop taking the Erythromycin Benzoyl Peroxide Topical Gel and call your doctor ASAP.


Even if it's after hours, your doc should have an answering system where they can page him and have him call you back.





If it get so bad that your eyes swell too, you may want to go to the ER to get an antibiotic shot to help sooth the swelling.





I hope it goes away quickly!!
Reply:According to a website I found off of a Google search, side effects can be sever skin swelling and blistering, skin rash, itching, dry peeling skin, burning, and irritated eyes. So, it could be that. You could also be having an allergic reaction to it. I would stop using it immediatley, wash your face to get it off, and contact your doctor ASAP...or I guess they say STAT in the medical world : )
Reply:First off, stop using it. Don't freak out , it will be fine. It sounds like you had allergic reaction to it. Go to the drug store and get hydrocortizone ( its a topical gel) and put some of that on it, until it goes away. Use something called Cetyphil cleanser until it goes away, you can get it at any drug store. Finally, make an appointment at the same doctor and see what they say, chances are they aren't a bad doctor-just had a bad reaction.
Reply:Allergic reaction. Stop using immediately. Drink lots of water to flush out of your system. Maybe hydrocortisone cream (don't use until you see a dermatologist)
Reply:I believe that you are allergic to this medication. Most acne medicines have a drying and peeling effect. Tell your doctor so she can change your medication and take a look at the browns thin lines. If it itches I would use cortizone cream. It is very good for itchy rashes, They make it in a creme form that soaks in, and it also, has an ingredient for pain and aloe and vitimin E
