The main ingredient of erythromycin ointment is erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, mainly for skin bacterial infections, especially gram-positive bacterial infections. It has an antibacterial effect in the early stages of inflammation and is effective in treating skin infections such as folliculitis, boils, pimples and abscesses. When the bacteria are controlled, the inhibitory effect of erythromycin on inflammatory factors disappears, and it can not play a role in removing the spots, for the facial spots or other parts of the skin of the body is not able to remove the spots, there is no obvious therapeutic effect. For skin discoloration, targeted treatment should be carried out according to the specific situation, while attention should be paid to diet and living habits, and direct sunlight should be avoided.
