What should I avoid while taking benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin topical?
Do not use benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin topical on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin or on open wounds. Avoid using other topical products on the same area at the same time unless directed to do so by your doctor. They may interfere with the effects or absorption of benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin topical. Do not cover the affected area after applying benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin topical. Doing so could cause too much medicine to be absorbed by the body and could be harmful. Avoid using harsh, abrasive, or irritating cleansers, perfumes, or cosmetics on the affected area. Avoid contact with clothing and hair. Benzoyl peroxide may cause bleaching. Avoid combining PABA-containing sunscreens and benzoyl peroxide. Temporary skin discoloration may occur if they are used together.
